60% of Patients Want THIS Conversation (Clinicians Don’t Expect It) #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy

This study by Kamper and colleagues explored what people with chronic back pain actually expect from physiotherapy.

The findings?
✅ Almost everyone wanted exams, advice, and clear explanations.
✅ About half hoped for prescriptions or referrals.
🚨 And nearly 60% wanted to talk about problems in their life.

Clinicians — if you’re only interrogating tissues, you’re missing the boat. Real care means having the skills for real conversations, because patients bring their whole life into the clinic, not just their body.
