How it works
Targets pain catastrophising (over-estimating threat of pain), reduces fear-avoidance behaviour, and builds self-efficacy. Addresses the central sensitisation component of chronic back pain.
Most effective as part of a multidisciplinary pain programme. Available via MHCP under GP care. Fear-avoidance beliefs are a stronger predictor of disability than MRI findings in chronic back pain.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
