Most people experience musculoskeletal problems during their
lifetime. Some people fail to recover and return to work, not so much because
of what has happened but because they come up against obstacles. Knowing how to
facilitate recovery and return to work, including when to act, is essential for
successful management of the problem.
'Tackling Musculoskeletal Problems' is a manual for the workplace, the clinic, and beyond. It is about identifying psychosocial obstacles, formulating a plan, and taking action to overcome or navigate around the obstacles.
About the psychosocial flags framework
The scientific background for 'Tackling Musculoskeletal
Problems' was an international Flags Think-Tank, involving 21 experts in the
psychosocial aspects of musculoskeletal disorders. Their deliberations and
scientific thinking were the basis for this definitive, evidence-based
guide.
