(LMS-IFOMPT-20)
This course, in partnership with the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapy (IFOMPT), will explore the experience of persistent pain for patients with musculoskeletal conditions, encouraging a reframing of how persistent pain is approached.
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?

(LMS-IFOMPT-20) This course, in partnership with the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapy (IFOMPT), will explore the experience of persistent pain for patients with musculoskeletal conditions, encouraging a reframing of how persistent pain is approached.
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?
