Design: Cross-sectional Study.
Results: Approximately 50% of the respondents experienced mild pain during and after work. Participants shared their insights on these topics, and our thematic analysis revealed the complexities of work-related pain in therapists. We developed a conceptual model of pain that encompassed the wide ranging and substantial effects of work-related pain.
Conclusion: Physical therapists reported that they had experienced WMSDs at some time. The WMSDs were related to age, sex, specialty area, and specific tasks. The respondents identified risk factors contributing to their symptoms. Analysis revealed that some of these risk factors were associated with the presence of WMSD body areas.
