Physiotherapist Rules for Chronic Pain ManagementPhysiotherapists focus on improving function, reducing pain, and increasing quality of life, often using a biopsychosocial approach. Northwest Rehab Group +4

• Thorough Assessment: Conduct in-depth evaluations (history, physical, movement analysis) to identify pain drivers, not just symptoms.
• Active Recovery over Passive Care: Prioritize therapeutic exercise (strengthening, mobility, cardiovascular) to build capacity and reduce long-term dependence on passive treatments.
• Patient Education: Educate patients about pain mechanisms to reduce fear-avoidance behavior, empower self-management, and manage expectations.
• Multidisciplinary Approach: Integrate manual therapy (joint mobilization, soft tissue work) with cognitive behavioral strategies or lifestyle modifications (sleep, stress management).
• Activity Modification: Guide patients in modifying daily tasks to maintain function without causing symptom flare-ups.
• Goal Setting: Set personalized, functional, and realistic goals with the patient to track progress over time. PubMed Central (PMC) (.gov) +6
