class=\"eb\">Therapy<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h2\">Focus<\/h2>\n<p class=\"tx\">Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) is a modern, well-researched approach to chronic back pain. It was developed by Prof. Peter O\u2019Sullivan and his team, and numerous studies confirm its effectiveness. At 4 Balance we have been using CFT successfully for several years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tx\">CFT is based on the understanding that chronic pain does not have purely physical causes: thoughts, fears, stress and habits also influence how strongly we feel pain. Together we look at how you move in daily life and what makes your complaints worse. Step by step, you learn to move in a more relaxed way and with more confidence again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"im\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/4Balance1672.jpg\" alt=\"Focus\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sp\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"im\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/4Balance1906.jpg\" alt=\"Indications\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"h2\">Indications<\/h2>\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\">\n<ul class=\"ck\">\n<li>Chronic back pain<\/li>\n<li>Chronic neck pain<\/li>\n<li>Chronic recurrent back pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\">\n<p><strong>More information<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ck\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/de.pain-ed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PainEd<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodylogicphysiotherapy.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Body Logic Physiotherapy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tx\" style=\"margin-top:10px\"><a class=\"lk\" href=\"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/en\/physiotherapy-overview\/\">\u2190 Back to overview<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11842","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11842"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11842\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13050,"href":"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11842\/revisions\/13050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/4balance.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
