High pain self efficacy and expectation of recovery can have a strong influence on the outcome of physiotherapy. Check out our piece in October’s #MSKMag @TPMPodcast @UEA_Health @ueaphysiosoc @UEA_Physio @OT_UEA @SportsparkUEA
Might pain self-efficacy and the expectation someone has about their recovery be a more important indicator of outcome than their pain or disability level at baseline??
Rachel Chester's important new research suggests yes: read more about it in her October #MSKMag article: mskmag.substack.com/p/patien…

New paper alert ! 💥
Patients' expectations play a key role in MSK outcomes! ‼️
Yet, do we truly know what patients' expectations and preferences are for the management of MSK conditions? 🤔
And do those match with guidelines recommendations?🧐
