Summary
This study surveyed 330 physiotherapists in Belgium and the Netherlands about their knowledge and beliefs regarding chronic pain and physical activity. It also tested whether an e-learning module could improve their understanding. The goal is to help physiotherapists better support patients with chronic pain, including cancer survivors and those with low back pain.
