Physiotherapists and other clinicians who frequently care for people with chronic pain are, for the most part, aware that pain is a biopsychosocial problem that requires a biopsychosocial solution. Psychologically-informed approaches to chronic pain care in physiotherapy are becoming mainstream (slowly), however social aspects of pain and social approaches to pain management are largely left untouched by many clinicians. In this presentation, I remind us all of the critical importance of addressing social contributors to pain for patient outcomes, and describe the findings of a qualitative study investigating clinician-reported barriers to engaging patients in conversations about social contributors to their pain. The results of this study point to several key barriers to as well as several opportunities for supporting physiotherapists and other clinicians to address social aspects of pain in everyday practice.
