#Backpain is a widespread condition and can have a huge impact. What is the best remedy? A study from the field of #physiotherapy shows: above all, #patience and rest. It’s normal that the pain will take time to go away. https://www.snf.ch/en/UmgCGoEQk7AVNC6Y/news/back-pain-sufferers-need-patience-more-than-anything-else

Great to see that we are having this type of studies, which favor a biopsychosocial approach. A positive therapeutic alliance seems to be essential in chronic pain, as well as CBT. The role of physiotherapist in these cases is mostly to keep people moving, rather than "heal" them, to prevent a sedentary behavioral changw. We also know about biological changes (ascending pathways and their inhibition) in chronic pain patients.
