In this episode, we dive into the intersection of physical therapy and mental health. We explore the research titled "Current Practices of Physiotherapists in Implementing Psychologically Informed Physical Therapy in Chronic Pain Management: A Scoping Review."

Join our host, Johan dela Paz, as he engages in a compelling conversation with the study's principal author, Dr. Eunice Garces, and this episode's guest reactor, Dr. Jovielyn Mañibo, a licensed psychologist and certified play therapist. Together, they discuss the key findings of the research, the importance of integrating psychological principles into pain management, and the real-world implications for physical therapy practice.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

  • The shift from the biomedical model to the biopsychosocial model in physical therapy.
  • The psychological factors affecting patients with chronic pain.
  • Practical strategies for physical therapists to incorporate psychologically informed practices into their care.
  • The challenges and opportunities for integrating mental health awareness in the Philippine healthcare system.
