Understanding the barriers and enablers to implementation of a self-managed exercise intervention: A qualitative study (2015)
Journal Article
Littlewood, C., Mawson, S., May, S., & Walters, S. (2015). Understanding the barriers and enablers to implementation of a self-managed exercise intervention: A qualitative study. Physiotherapy, 101(3), 279-285. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physio.2015.01.001

Background: Despite a proliferation of research evidence, there remains a 'gap' between what this evidence suggests and what happens in clinical practice. One reason why physiotherapists might not implement research evidence is because the findings d...
