 Pain is often accompanied by significant emotional distress, disruption in physical and social functioning, and reduction in quality of life  The causes and consequences of pain are complex and multifactorial. Pain is often difficult to assess, investigate, treat and manage  Specific role of physiotherapy dependant on the context, environment, and specific expertise of individual therapists
