Comparing Management Approaches for Spine Pain: Single vs. Multiple Sessions

Ballooning wait times, overworked and burnt out staff. No doubt you're only too familiar with the signs of a health system that's under serious strain. And not just since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Simon Lafrance, physiotherapist and researcher from the University of Montreal, explains musculoskeletal care models that flip the traditional medical model of the doctor as the first contact point a patient has with the health system, to a musculoskeletal specialist, like a physical therapist, leading instead.

Simon's clinical work and research work merge as he works to develop and evaluate advance practice physiotherapy models.
