Hands-off in der Physiotherapie

Effectively Applying Hands-off Methods

Effective physiotherapy involves a patient-specific mix of "hands-on" measures, such as manual techniques, and "hands-off" therapy. This book provides a comprehensive and well-founded overview of pain education, communication techniques, soft skills, and various other hands-off treatment approaches. Learn among other things:

• Which communication strategies like Shared Decision Making, Motivational Interviewing, and validating interaction can optimize your patients' compliance.
• The different types of patients and how their type influences your therapy.
• How hands-off therapy approaches like Graded Exposure or Cognitive Functional Therapy can optimally support your patients in regaining their daily functioning.
• The impact of placebos and nocebos on the success of therapy.

The first book dedicated to modern physiotherapeutic hands-off methods and skills.
