Dear X Friends, therapists with #biomedical attitudes/beliefs adhere less to clinical #guidelines, are more likely to advise patients to restrict activities/work, and have worse #pain + disability #outcomes: authors.elsevier.com/a/1icWq…

My personal Top Tips to get the most out of your @WorldPhysio1951 #WorldPhysio2023 experience! Every day a new tip about specific sessions, networking, travelling, etc. TOP TIP 11 Focused symposium TRANSFER OF PAIN NEUROSCIENCE EDUCATION INTERVENTIONS BY CULTURAL ADAPTATION RESEARCH The existence of chronic pain is a complex interaction between biological, psychological, and social factors. Pain neuroscience education (PNE) is an evidence-based physiotherapy treatment in monodisciplinary settings. In this intervention, pain is explained by neurophysiological changes instead of tissue damage as the cause of pain and related to different biopsychosocial factors. In this session, the scientific process of developing a culturally sensitive PNE intervention is presented in three different settings namely in Lebanon, Nigeria (Hausa population), and a multidisciplinary setting in the Netherlands. Pain neuroscience education is an important component of contemporary physiotherapy in people with chronic pain. This will be a great focused symposium focused on cultural adaptation of pain neuroscience education interventions. Presenters: Paul van Wilgen (chair) Charbel Najem Naziru Bashir Mukhtar Amarins Wijma Session details: 4 June 11:00-12:00 Sheikh Rashid F+C+D wp2023.world.physio/#/progra… I look forward to meeting you in #Dubai!

My personal Top Tips to get the most out of your @WorldPhysio1951 #WorldPhysio2023 experience! Every day a new tip about specific sessions, networking, travelling, etc. TOP TIP 10 Discussion session DIGITAL PRACTICE: BALANCING THE BENEFITS OF ACCESS WITH THE NEED FOR HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS Digital technologies continue to garner attention and interest within physiotherapy. Novel technologies offer physiotherapists and our patients alike opportunities to connect in ways not previously imagined. However, whilst the potential for digital technology to support the profession and our patients is encouraging, much is still unclear, unknown, and the evidence-base for digital practice is still maturing. This topical session will explore the digital practice across various areas of physiotherapy and share experiences from international clinicians who have experience in this space. In this session, an important but challenging topic will be discussed. ‘How to we balance the benefits of technology access with the need for human relationships?’ How do we keep the patient at the center? How do we maintain our pivotal role as partners in care? These important questions will be discussed in this session. Important for all physiotherapists.
