Rethinking low back pain management with...

PHYSIO NETWORK
About this episode

In this episode with Dr Kevin Wernli, we dive into the complexities associated with low back pain. We discuss the importance of clearing red flags, patient beliefs and the role of specific pathology. Kevin also imparts his knowledge about habitual versus exercise programs and talks us through how he delivers these with his patients to encourage patient autonomy and compliance.

This episode is closely tied to Kevin’s Practical he did with us. With Practicals you can see exactly how top experts assess and treat specific conditions – so you can become a better clinician, faster.

Dr Kevin Wernli is a Physiotherapist from Perth, Western Australia. He recently completed his PhD at Curtin University looking at the relationship between movements/postures and low back pain, and the role of psychological factors in this relationship. He also produces and co-hosts the empowered beyond pain podcast and has presented at conferences around the world. He has more recently been exploring how digital health and technology can improve how equitable and effective health care is.
