Journal Article
Roddy. (2016). What influences general practitioners' use of exercise for patients with chronic knee pain? Results from a national survey. BMC Family Practice, 172 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12875-016-0570-4

BACKGROUND: Exercise is a recommended 'core' treatment for chronic knee pain (CKP), however it appears to be underused by general practitioners (GPs). While behavioural theories suggest that attitudes and beliefs influence behaviours, no single theor...
