Clinical guidelines for hip and knee osteoarthritis and chronic pain endorse the biopsychosocial approach and call for an increased focus on non-pharmacological treatments for managing musculoskeletal pain such as cognitive behavioral theory based strategies. Studies have shown that integrating cognitive behavioral theory based strategies with traditional physical therapy treatments in musculoskeletal care results in greater reductions in disability and pain than education or exercise-only interventions. Physical therapists can be trained to effectively integrate and deliver cognitive behavioral theory based strategies in their physical therapy practice. Yet, training in this approach is not part of most physical therapy program curriculums and practicing physical therapists require additional training to effectively utilize cognitive behavioral theory based strategies. We have developed a program that focuses on training physical therapists to integrate cognitive behavioral theory based strategies into their clinical practice and promote the biopsychosocial approach to patient care. The Cognitive Behaviorally Informed Skills Training for Physical Therapists program is designed to increase the knowledge and skill of participants in selecting, applying, and integrating cognitive behavioral theory based strategies in their physical therapy practice. The curriculum consists of 12 weekly classes which combine didactics and experiential learning activities, followed by 10 weekly small group seminars that focus on further skills training and application through didactics, case examples, and experiential learning activities. In addition to class and seminar meetings, additional activities (e.g., experiential home practice exercises) and asynchronous training resources (e.g., videos, therapist manual, worksheets) are utilized. Please note that this curriculum is designed for practicing physical therapists and focuses on integrating cognitive behavioral theory based strategies into one’s physical therapy practice; this program does not provide training in physical therapy treatments. The Cognitive Behaviorally Informed Skills Training for Physical Therapists program is developed and led by experts in the Duke Pain Prevention and Treatment Research Program and Department of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy.
