When prescribing exercise for pain amnagement it is important that we:
- Understand the parameters (i.e., mode, frequency, duration, intensity) of therapeutic exercise for pain relief.
- Describe how to modify exercise parameters as they relate to the pain condition, age, psychosocial factors, and patient's health status.
- Recognize the importance of implementing adjunct therapies to address issues related to exercise prescription (i.e., biopsychosocial, fear avoidance behaviour, catastrophizing, cognitive behavioural therapy).
- Understand the importance of patient education in prescribing therapeutic exercise, including the concept of motivation, pacing) to enhance overall treatment effectiveness and compliance.
