I was chatting to a colleague today regarding the direction we felt PT
should take in the future and something I felt was interesting came out and
I thought I would ask you lot your thoughts.
I said I felt that hopefully good research would provide us with
patterns/models of how low back pain presents, and then we could work out
ways to accurately predict what treatments would be effective.
She replied that she thought this would be a negative step as it reduces
physio independence and creativity.
So I guess the question is would you put up with a more prescriptive work
ethic for more predictable (better???) results with patients?
Any other thoughts on the idea of a "recipe book" method of physiotherapy?
Cheers,
John Willenbruch
Also does anyone else think I am sad for finding this really interesting.
I do!!
