Importance of biopsychosocial model in Indian clinical physiotherapy practice

Abstract

The biopsychosocial model is one of the most important models in physiotherapy practice. It has been proven to be particularly useful in treating behaviorally regulated diseases that have a wide range of risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, obesity, hypertension, and cardiac issues. Physiotherapists should be aware of their modes of action in terms of the cultural environment in which they operate and the unique needs of the patients in order to refocus Physiotherapy practice toward the whole treatment of patients without compromising professional ethics. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of physiotherapists' methods of action and to highlight the importance of incorporating models of disablement, the idea of rehabilitation, the biomedical model, and the biopsychosocial model into patient management strategies.
