Thanks Matt, very interesting study.
CONCLUSION:
General expectations of benefit have a strong influence on clinical outcomes for patients with neck pain.
The manual therapy interventions of massage (87%) and manipulation (75%) had the highest proportion of patients who expected these interventions to significantly improve neck pain. These were followed by strengthening (70%) and range of motion (54%) exercises.-Evan. The postings on this site are my own and do not represent the views or policies of my employer or APTA.

Expecting the same as Wanting?
In reading this study, is it going to far to infer that patients will be benefited by treatments that they want to benefit them?
Is expecting a treatment to help the same as wanting a treatment to help? Or is that stretching the meaning a bit to far when interpreting scientific papers?
Thanks!"It sounds like you're saying something interesting but I'm not following what it might be. I have a hard time making my own thoughts clear to others and always hope people will ask me to clarify, but not everyone does. Can you clarify your previous post?" ~ Jon Newman
