Article Abstract
The adolescent's painful functional disorders deserve management by a specialized interdisciplinary team. In recent years, intensive interdisciplinary physical therapy (IIPT) programs have developed in a hospital environment in Europe and around the world. While the short-term objective is often to restore trust between the patient and the therapists by relieving parents of the need to coordinate a network of multidisciplinary practitioners. These programs have proven to be effective in the medium and long term in improving the patient's clinical performance and for the benefits associated with restoring normal life for the family. Finally, these programs can have a positive impact in a cost-benefit approach when considering these often long and complex care arrangements.
