ABOUT
The authors have collaborated closely for a number of years to develop the Framework based on their broad clinical, teaching and research expertise. This process has also involved collaboration with other colleagues at Curtin University as well as a broad and diverse network of highly skilled individuals across different professions throughout the world. Most importantly, experience with and feedback from individuals with musculoskeletal pain has strongly shaped the development of this Framework.
