Title: How Do You Structure Care for the Person? A Roundtable Discussion
Description:
This interactive session will help physical therapists make sense of different pain presentations and how they affect treatment decisions. Participants will learn about so-called “pain phenotypes,” including how each tends to show up in the clinic. In a hands-on lab, participants will work through patient cases to tailor exercise and treatment approaches accordingly, while also appreciating the contextual and relational factors shaping our interactions.
