The Psychologically-Informed Physiotherapist
Evidence-Based Therapy Centre
Enhancing connections A psychological framework to optimise the therapeutic relationship for enhanced outcomes in physiotherapy We are delighted to announce our brand new workshop series, The Psychologically-informed Physiotherapist. The first workshop focuses on enhancing the therapeutic relationship. What prompted us to devise the Psychologically-informed Physiotherapist? “Over the years, I have observed that physiotherapy research and practice has hugely improved its understanding of the role that psychological factors play in our therapeutic encounters with patients. Much of this improved knowledge has focused on how to assess and screen for psychosocial factors and “barriers to recovery”. This is important work and has helped to identify key factors that might play a role in our outcomes with patients. However for me, the big gap is in what we should actually do with our patients. In my view, screening questionnaires and outcome measures should not be used to refuse patients treatment or triage them away from physiotherapy departments. We need to develop our psychological skills and techniques with our patients in order to foster more effective therapeutic interventions. Working closely for over a decade with Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Róisín Joyce and our team of psychologists and psychotherapists at EBTC has helped me integrate psychological knowledge into my day-to-day clinical practice. I think that this has been the most important personal clinical development that I have made in recent years.” (Eoin Ó Conaire) What is covered in this course? The focus of our first one-day course is on applying psychological principles and practice to help physiotherapists to develop stronger and more effective therapeutic alliances with their patients. With a combined clinical experience of over 50 years, specialist Clinical Psychologist, Dr Róisín Joyce and specialist Physiotherapist, Eoin Ó Conaire have teamed-up to design a course which: Outlines key evidence demonstrating the importance of the therapeutic alliance in influencing positive outcomes in physiotherapy Highlights the key obstacles to developing optimal therapeutic alliance and helps participants to develop ways of identifying and evaluating these obstacles in therapeutic encounters Provides a safe space for clinicians to stand back from and reflect on their practice, think about the types of patients that they find difficult to work with and why this might be Introduces the three systems psychological model of emotion regulation Provides techniques and opportunities to practice using this model personally and with patients in order to enhance the therapeutic relationship Summarises the physiotherapy-specific literature relating to enhancement of the therapeutic relationship Applies the psychological framework to different clinical scenarios to help participants enhance the quality of their therapeutic interactions After this course physiotherapists will be able to immediately apply the psychological framework to their clinical practice and therefore enhance therapeutic alliance and clinical outcomes. Who is this course aimed at? This course is aimed at all physiotherapists irrespective of grade or clinical area. This course is also appropriate for registered physical therapists, osteopaths and chiropractors.
