What if we told you that the key to transforming physiotherapy and care for people with chronic pain lies in a paradigm shift towards person-centered care? In this thought-provoking episode, we sat down with Morten Hoegh, a professor at Alberg University in Denmark, to discuss this revolution in pain management and the challenges that come along with it.
We also delved into the complexities of treating chronic pain and the importance of creating a collaborative environment between patients and practitioners. With Morten's insight, we unpacked the implications of two recent research papers and discovered how different disciplines, such as neuroscience, ecology, and philosophy, contribute to the conversation on pain management. The need for professionals to use generic skills and work with experts when necessary has never been more evident.
Our conversation with Morten took us on a journey through the realm of patient-centered care, empowering patients to take ownership of their treatment and exploring the idea of booster sessions to further support them in their path to recovery. We even discussed the political implications of having different professions to treat chronic pain and the potential benefit of working together as a team. Don't miss this insightful episode as we redefine pain management and revolutionize the future of physiotherapy.
