“Living more and struggling less”: a qualitative descriptive study of patient experiences of physiotherapy informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy within a multidisciplinary pain management programme
Overview
This qualitative descriptive study explores patient experiences of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-informed physiotherapy within a multidisciplinary pain management program. Through focus groups with fifteen patients, the authors identify themes such as increased flexibility in physical activity, compassionate body engagement, and the role of social connection in fostering psychological openness. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in understanding patient perspectives on ACT-based interventions for persistent pain.
