Greetings!
We are six Physical Therapists from Sweden, going to New York in mid
November -99 with the aim to broaden our minds in some of the fields of
Physical Therapy. Our visit is limited to 1 week.
We are all working in outpatient clinics in Stockholm. A large
percentage of our patients do consult us because of their problems with
back pain (quite often with a long duration). Some of us are working
partly with the McKenzie philosophy, some are interested in a
behavioural scientific approach. We are all open minded and are
interested to look into different ways to approach treatment of and/or
prophylactic management for back pain. And also how to evaluate the
treatment outcome.
Another large patient group are those with un-diagnosed generelized pain
who are big consumers of health care. We are hoping to start
rehabilitation groups with an approach more toward the behavioural
patterns than the pain itself.
We are also interested in rehabilitation of sport injuries.
We would very much like to visit some interesting clinics, projects,
physical therapist or….
And we are truly grateful to anyone who can give us any information that
may lead to an educational experience.
Please send your reply to the address listed below.
With kind regards
Carola
