Psychological barriers to rehabilitation are generally viewed as pre-existing
patient traits that clinicians are asked to evaluate and modify. In the present
case report, we provide evidence that these barriers can also be involuntarily
created or perpetuated by the clinician himself when too much attention is placed
on physical abnormalities. Without discarding the need to treat the presumed
biological source of pain, these observations remind rehabilitation professionals
about the importance of showing a confident and reassuring attitude toward pain
patients to reduce anxiety, promote physical activity, and reinforce
self-management strategies.
