On LinkedIn Trish Wisbey-Roth asked Is physiotherapy doing enough for back pain. Here is my response: This question is very timely Trish. From my perspective Physiotherapy is not doing enough about back pain, largely as a result of current forces inveighing us ~ or more importantly our patients ~ to rethink their perceptions of pain. We all know that pain can be greatly influenced by patients state of mind and belief systems, but to place too great an emphasis on this ~ and I believe we have ~ often means patients go without proper hands-on care. We have to work with our patients perception of their pain; not lecture them about their belief systems. Otherwise we will keep losing patients with both acute and chronic back pain to professions where they do touch and handle with care.
