Prof Jeremy Lewis Reframing care for people with persistent MSK pain

IFOMPT Prof Jeremy Lewis Webinar

Reframing how we care for people living with persistent MSK pain

Why do we need to change our direction?

• We are not being honest with people seeking care.
• We are prioritising low-value and high-cost procedures on an industrial scale.
• The provision of healthcare is inequitable and unsustainable.

How as a profession can we provide better care to the communities we are serving?
