Striving for precision musculoskeletal rehabilitation for spinal pain by Alison Rushton
This session will analyze how we need to transform our practice to achieve precision musculoskeletal physiotherapy. A one-size-fits all approach to management of spinal pain is not working. Precision terminology will be defined, reflecting the importance of research-informed stratification/subgrouping combined with patient-centered clinical reasoning; to identify which interventions will be effective for which patients based on important factors. Quality of our interventions based on high quality assessment data must be a key focus through advanced clinical reasoning. Evidence based frameworks to assist clinical reasoning will be discussed. Precision musculoskeletal physiotherapy is best practice - but how well are we doing?
