An observational study of Australian private practice physiotherapy consultations to explore the prescription of self‐management strategies

Abstract: Physiotherapists regularly spend time prescribing self-management strategies such as exercise, advice, and the use of heat or ice to patients receiving treatment linked to a range of injury locations. This suggests that self-management is considered to be an important adjunct to in-clinic physiotherapy. The practice implications of this are that clinicians should reflect on how self-management strategies can be used to maximize patient outcomes, and whether the allocation of consultation time to self-managemen… Show more

“…Physiotherapists in our research also indicated that patient benefits associated with psychosocial strategies included improved patient wellbeing, by having a positive attitude and mindset towards the rehabilitation process, and better self‐management. Self‐management is an integral component of rehabilitation programmes (Peek, Carey, Mackenzie, & Sanson‐Fisher, ), and encourages patients to be less reliant on ‘hands on’ treatment (Peek, Carey, Sanson‐Fisher, & Mackenzie, ). This is evidenced in our study, as physiotherapists specifically described the use of psychosocial strategies to help their patients be less dependent on the therapist, more resilient, empowered, enthusiastic and happier, resulting in a better response to treatment overall.…”

“…Physical therapists regularly spend time prescribing self-management strategies such as exercise, advice, and the use of heat or ice, suggesting that self-management may be an important complement to in-clinic care. 28 What "Good" Self-management Support Should Look Like Self-management support should address biomechanical, psychosocial, and individual characteristics. To facilitate effective self-management, (1) help the patient to identify his or her barriers and goals, (2) assist in identifying optimal strategies to reduce or avoid symptom exacerbation through problem solving, and (3) support the patient to identify ways to measure the effectiveness of self-management.…”
