Abstract

The biopsychosocial model of pain emphasizes the interconnected influence of biological, psychological, and social factors on an individual's experience of pain. This editorial abstract explores the integration of these dimensions in understanding and addressing pain, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach for effective pain management. It delves into the evolving perspectives within the physiotherapy community, underscoring the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to optimize patient outcomes and enhance the quality of care. The abstract also touches upon emerging challenges, new research and practical implications for physiotherapy professionals working within this comprehensive framework.
