Physiotherapy is pivotal in managing musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions (1). Central to the management of MSK conditions is the biopsychosocial model, which highlights the complex relations between biological, psychological, and social factors in shaping the health and well-being of individuals with MSK pain (2). To translate the biopsychosocial model to clinical practice, clinical guidelines provide best practice recommendations for the assessment and treatment of MSK conditions, emphasizing the importance of patient education, self-management support, and interventions focused on physical activity and exercise. This evidence-based approach promotes active lifestyles and physical activity, offering short and long-term pain relief. It integrates components like manual therapy, patient education, and exercise therapy, typically provided by physiotherapists.
