On this week’s episode, we are joined by Dr Mary O’Keeffe (T: @MaryOKeeffe007) to discuss how clinicians can better manage patients with low back pain. Mary is a physiotherapist and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow. Mary was awarded her PhD in 2017, in which she examined multidimensional rehabilitation for the individual with chronic back pain. Mary’s research now focuses on changing clinicians’ behaviour, improving diagnostic labels of low back pain, and communicating healthcare messages in the media. In this 20-min podcast, Mary explores clinicians’ common misconceptions about low back pain and how we can better address psychosocial aspects of care.
