i totally agree with you colleague....The problem is that during training in physio school we NEVER learned or talked about the H-U-G-E matter of chronic pain....Neither the pathophysiology behind it (theories that been proposed are very interesting if u study them...) nor how to manage a chronic patient....
And i believe that every physiotherapy method has to include behavioural aspects, because we must admit that over the 80 per cent of the patients we treat in private clinics are in fact CHRONIC ones, not just in an acute/subacute stage.....I wish they were though, because it will be much easier to treat them
