Abstract:
Psychologically informed clinical practice is a biopsychosocial approach to rehabilitation that integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques into traditional musculoskeletal rehabilitation. This approach to rehabilitation allows the clinician to address the physical and psychosocial impairments that result from musculoskeletal injury. Evidence suggests the integration of cognitive-behavioral techniques can improve clinical outcomes and enhance patient-centered care. Examples of these techniques include: motivational interviewing, relaxation training, goal setting, and activity-based treatments, such as graded exposure therapy. Education and discussion on how to implement these techniques into traditional musculoskeletal rehabilitation will occur. Simulated examples of patient cases will also be reviewed and discussed.
