Physiotherapists' Experiences Adopting a Biopsychosocial Model Through a Pain Course: A Qualitative Study (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

• Shift from biomedical to biopsychosocial model
• Improved patient communication and pain education
• Challenges: time constraints and integrating psychosocial factors

"This qualitative study explored the experiences of physiotherapists learning to adopt a biopsychosocial model by completing the 'Pain in Private Practice' course. Therapists described a challenging but rewarding shift from a biomedical to a biopsychosocial approach, enhancing patient communication and pain education. Barriers included time constraints and difficulty integrating psychosocial factors into clinical practice. The findings highlight the need for ongoing support and training to effectively implement biopsychosocial care in physiotherapy."
