Musculoskeletal physiotherapy and perceptions on lifestyle interventions: A review.

Musculoskeletal pain treatments are widespread in the clinical practice of physiotherapists. A multifaceted biopsychosocial approach should guide modern pain therapy. The study aimed to investigate the association of musculoskeletal problems with lifestyle behaviors. The study adopted a qualitative literature review methodology. About 200 papers have been reviewed for this study. The categories of the study had been classified according to the factors that are interconnected to the life intervention. The inclusion criteria of the selected literature depend upon the data received. This is a review-based study. The results of cross-sectional and correlational analysis dominated the literature on lifestyle implications on musculoskeletal health, which included pain and its correlated inflammation. Long-term prospective studies, however, are difficult to enroll in due to ethical concerns about denying patients' therapies shown to benefit them, notably lifestyle behavior modification. By conducting intervention studies, it determines lifestyle modifications that determine the beneficial aspects. These aspects are avoiding and reducing pain by increasing exercise capacity. The study concluded that the quantity of beneficial health practices boosted the health-related quality of life. To achieve long-term health, the complexity of the behaviour change needs to be supported by the individual's lifestyle pattern and the support of the data. Therefore, in this century characterized by chronic lifestyle-related illnesses, various health behavior modifications may be claimed to be a primary therapeutic skill of health professionals (individually and collectively).
