Experiences of Physical Therapists Working With Women With Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Phenomenological Qualitative Study

Conclusion: The lived experiences of physical therapists working with WWCPP revealed a complex integration of clinical reasoning, critical reflection, and adaptive expertise while concomitantly employing the principles of the biopsychosocial model and a patient-centered approach to care management for WWCPP. Physical therapists believed they constructed positive therapeutic relationships and held overall positive attitudes about WWCPP that enhanced overall outcomes for the women. Future studies should explore whether the positive therapeutic relationship and attitudes identified by participants in this study are recognized by WWCPP.
