Abstract
The mind and body are closely connected. Although the amount of research is limited involving this topic, exercise science is advancing rapidly, and a clearer connection is beginning to become apparent. Until the 1960s, exercise science as a field was largely unprecedented. Does psychology have a bigger influence on clinical outcomes than we think? Are there interactions between the physiology of recovery and the thought process? Should physical therapists be required to have some sort of degree or education in psychology to provide the most holistic care? The answers to these questions remain in the air, but with the research that has been done, one can begin to answer these questions for themselves. Based on the latest research, it seems that psychology may play a greater role in rehabilitation than previously believed. When treating patients who experienced any bodily injury, psychology should be implemented into an effective rehabilitation process in order to achieve maximal results in physical recovery and mental readiness to return to life post-injury.

The Overlooked Aspect of The Psychological and Physiological Effect of Injuries on The Rehabilitation Process
