Description
Stanley Innes and colleagues write a 2026 commentary on how hands-on therapists can work safely with people who live with borderline personality disorder. The condition often comes with long-term pain and muscle or joint trouble. So physios, chiropractors, osteopaths, and massage staff meet these patients a lot. Few, though, are trained in how mood swings, past trauma, and sharp feelings about trust shape hands-on care.
The authors borrow from the NICE guide for the condition and adapt its core ideas to the treatment room. Joint planning, steady care from the same staff, and clear limits all earn a place. Touch can help, yet the same closeness can do harm when handled with poor care. They call for trauma-aware practice and for studies planned with patients.
