Behaviour Change in Clinical Practice: A Physio's Guide to Psychology

Course overview

This Masterclass provides physiotherapists with a practical introduction to applying evidence-informed behaviour change principles in clinical practice. Across four modules, you'll learn why patients struggle to change, how thoughts, emotions, habits, identity and readiness influence adherence, and how to use psychological strategies to improve engagement. You'll learn practical communication techniques to uncover a patient's intrinsic motivation, before translating this into meaningful, individualised goal setting. By the end of the Masterclass, you'll be equipped with practical tools to enhance patient adherence, strengthen therapeutic relationships, and support lasting behaviour change in clinical practice.
