@BWhybrowPhysio @PeteOSullivanPT @EvoolvePainCare Thanks @BWhybrow. Really enjoyed our discussion. Effective reassurance is an active, learnable clinical skill. In CFT, it’s a core part of the intervention—targeting patient concerns, reducing threat and anxiety—and a key focus of training at @EvoolvePainCare
