Which passengers are on your bus? A taxonomy of the barriers adolescents with chronic pain face in achieving functional recovery

ConclusionThe findings reveal a variety of barriers that were perceived to hinder functional recovery through reduced engagement with age ‐appropriate activities and thereby hamper progress within IIPT. The passenger‐on‐the‐bus metaphor can be used to identify similar barriers faced by adolescents in an individualized treatment approach, thereby making it possible for clinicians to target their IIPT more precisely.
