In this episode, ATW physios Valeria, Anne and Sharif look at the effects of a positive mental attitude and how this attitude influences the therapy with the patient. How can the positive attitude of either patient or therapist help to relieve the pain?

We based our research on:

The Role of Positive Affect in Pain and its Treatment

Patrick H Finan et al, published in the Clinical Journal of Pain.
