I have yet to see any research supporting home exercise and management
programs. I think if we are using the excuse of not being supported in the
literature we can't replace it with something equally as unsupported.
I am also concerned at the lack of support of chronic patients (what is the
definition for chronic). I feel that this is discrimination especially if it
is a public health system. I would much prefer to give them a chance with
treatment a bit longer and use progress (lack of progress) as a cut off
marker. I have helped many chronic patients as I am sure most physio's have.
