You are assessing a 54-year-old client referred after a workplace injury. The referral notes state she has "no significant prior history." During the interview she mentions, almost in passing, that she had six weeks of physiotherapy for the same shoulder two years ago and was told then that she "might need surgery eventually." She is keen to return to work and says the earlier problem "was nothing, it sorted itself out." Her employer's insurer is paying for the current assessment and has asked for a "clear causation opinion." The current presentation is consistent with either a new injury or an exacerbation of the old one.

You are writing a six-month outcome report for a client who has made genuine but modest progress: attendance improved from 40% to 65%, and self-rated anxiety fell from 8/10 to 6/10. The funder's renewal decision depends on "demonstrated significant improvement." A colleague suggests you describe the change as "substantial" and "transformative" because the client "has come a long way." The client, when asked, says she feels "much better" and would like you to emphasise that.
