Richtext
As a physiotherapist, Eva has experienced that persistent pain is hard to treat successfully, despite of the high level of healthcare in the Netherlands. As a researcher, she aims to contribute to a deeper understanding and improved treatment for pain, specifically focusing on chronic neck and/or back pain, through the Back2Action project.
The Back2Action project connects physiotherapy and clinical psychology through online modules that physiotherapists can use alongside their regular treatments. The online modules primarily focus on the mental issues that often play a significant role in neck and/or back pain.
