Does keeping a straight back protect your spine?
We’ve all been told: sit up straight, you need good posture, don’t slouch, don’t bend your back.

Most back pain treatment only provide ⏰️ short-term relief. There’s a better way.
What matters is having a personalised plan – and a trusted team to support it. Short-term relief is only part of the picture.

[Ian Cowell @brookphysio]

@BWhybrowPhysio @PeteOSullivanPT @EvoolvePainCare Thanks @BWhybrow. Really enjoyed our discussion. Effective reassurance is an active, learnable clinical skill. In CFT, it’s a core part of the intervention—targeting patient concerns, reducing threat and anxiety—and a key focus of training at @EvoolvePainCare

[Evoolve Pain Care Academy @EvoolvePainCare]

Patients have specific expectations when seeing a physiotherapist. Prof. Peter O'Sullivan reflects on patient's expectations and 'buy in' during a CFT consultation.

[Evoolve Pain Care Academy @EvoolvePainCare]

Prof. @PeteOSullivanPT describes what patients want to be heard, and how longer appointment times are required to address the complexity of a patient's presentation.

Thanks for joining our community!!

[Evoolve Pain Care Academy @EvoolvePainCare]

Clinicians can feel they are competent in CFT after knowledge workshops or masterclasses and ask if mentoring is really needed.

Dr @JPCaneiro 👨‍🦲 explains how workshops provide knowledge 🧠 about 'what to do', but mentoring ♾️ is required to become competent in 'how to do it'.

@GeorgeMcNamee @gsingh1902 @ChrisNewtonPT @PeteOSullivanPT 👏 Congratulations @GeorgeMcNamee and team — important work here highlighting that LBP trials often under-represent those people at highest risk; future studies must be more inclusive.
