Journal Article
Chester, R., Daniell, H., Belderson, P., Wong, C., Kinsella, P., McLean, S., …Naughton, F. (2023). Behaviour Change Techniques to promote self-management and home exercise adherence for people attending physiotherapy with musculoskeletal conditions: A scoping review and mapping exercise. Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, 66, Article 102776. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msksp.2023.102776

Many patients with musculoskeletal problems do not adhere to home exercises or self-management advice provided by physiotherapists. This is due to numerus factors, many of which can be targeted by Behaviour Change Techniques.
