Building Function

Ever since George Engel theorised about the Biopsychosocial approach to rehabilitation in 1977 it's fair to say that the model has caught fire in the rehab world. The number of studies published on PubMed each year, focusing on the BPS model, has increased 30x from around 11 studies in 1980 to 319 studies in the year 2019.
