[Cooperation between a physiotherapist and a physician in connection with psychomotor physiotherapy]

Experience has shown that active cooperation between the physiotherapist and the doctor is of major importance when using psychomotor physiotherapy. This is partly because not all patients are suited to this special form of treatment, and partly because of the need to involve the doctor actively in the treatment situation, should the physiotherapist not observe any progress. The most usual reason for lack of progress is emotional factors which cause muscular tension and these must be uncovered and treated before the physiotherapy can continue.
