Additionally, and in line with studies for acute/subacute musculoskeletal pain, outcomes vary. Studies on team pain rehabilitation point out that the type of interventions used vary, and are seldom described in detail. Such interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation has been described as time- and resource demanding both for the individual patient as well as for the healthcare system. Such combined interventions are often delivered to groups of patients by teams of health-care professionals making complementary contributions to improve the outcome, are delivered in specialized hospital units over a lengthy period of time, with the aim to increase the patients’ quality of life and ability to conduct a normal life through adequate pain management. For CMP, physical and psychological combined interventions are recommended to be performed within a cognitive behavioral framework. Treatment for early (acute/subacute) musculoskeletal pain is often delivered in primary care according to clinical guidelines – as for example in the treatment of low back- or neck pain – with the aim to remove or decrease the pain, although with varying treatment-outcomes. Moreover, CMP is known to limit the individual’s engagement in activities and societal participation, leading to a complex health situation both for the patient and the society, and a small number of these patients make repetitive visits to health care providers. Patients with CMP often report fatigue, depression and anxiety, as well as socio-economic consequences of their pain-condition. CMP includes conditions that affects joints, bones, muscles, tendons or multiple body areas and/or components (such as regional or widespread pain) and limits mobility, function and participation.

The best treatment is one tailored to your weaknesses and deficiencies rather than the "cookie-cutter" treatment approach where patients get the same ten exercises to treat their pain. The physical therapist will perform a thorough evaluation of your movement and determine what is moving correctly and incorrectly and how those movements affect or are caused by your pain. This can become a vicious cycle where pain causes incorrect movement which leads to more pain. Incorrect movement can further increase your pain by producing excess stress on the body, causing it to break down and hurt worse. It is our job to assess your movement and how it affects your pain, since pain can change the way you move. Physical therapists are the movement specialists in the healthcare industry. Correcting that improper movement will decrease your pain. In many cases, pain is associated with improper movement in the body.
