Dr. Ney Meziat-Filho (E-mail, X, Instagram) is interviewed by Dr. Tony Varela on his recent manuscript, “Effectiveness of Cognitive Functional Therapy Versus Core Exercises and Manual Therapy in Patient’s with Chronic Low Back Pain After Spinal Surgery: Randomized Controlled Trial.” This discussion will be interesting for practitioners working with chronic spine pain to help understand and incorporate cognitive functional therapy in order to improve both therapeutic alliance and patient outcomes.
