Introduction[edit | edit source]

Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) was developed as an approach to address and manage disabling Low Back Pain. The underlying motive for this approach is to analyse the behavioural psychology and beliefs seen within patterns of movement. Within these patterns, the Physiotherapist would identify modifiable and unmodifiable factors associated with an individuals low back pain. This gives therapists and clinicians the chance to explore the various factors and facets of one's LBP, considering the view of the individual. The goal of employing the CFT is to assist individuals and patients in understanding their pain within their viewpoint, and determining strategies for them to manage their pain within their goals of activities, participation, and lifestyle.

How is the Framework Used?[edit | edit source]

The framework assists the Clinician in helping the patient understand the multidimensional source of their pain. It is used on patients who suffer form chronic pain, and have negative pain beliefs, including pain hypervigilance, negative self-efficacy, and negative psychological emotional and cognitive factors.

A CFT Intervention would usually involve, over a given number of sessions:

  • Making sense of the Patient's pain, and helping them to understand it
  • Exposure with Control (show and training the patient their movement with alterations in movement pattern and control)
    • training postural control
    • Training their movement with or without gradual exposure
    • Providing visual feedback with mirror or video
    • Integrating these patterns in functional tasks
    • Providing reassurance of the safe movement for the body
    • Making the patient feel more comfortable and accustomed to the movement
