Summary

The purpose of the research is to check the efficiency of practicing the tools of the Grinberg method (GM) in reducing Low-back Pain (LBP), reducing limitations in movement as a result of the pain, and improving the general quality of life.

The hypothesis suggests that by learning to perceive pain differently, the level of pain will reduce and general well-being improved.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Grinberg Method

The GM is a methodology of attention that teaches through expanding and focusing body attention to create a change and an improvement in pain and in quality of life. The method focuses on the way in which we experience pain, and offers an approach that trains people to use their attention and will in order to turn an unwanted experience that causes suffering, into a controlled experience in which they can take responsibility on the way they react to an existing pain. The method uses attention in order to learn the fixed ways in which we respond to pain in our body: where we focus our attention, what is the level of tension in our muscles, how we breathe and relax and more. It gives simple and effective tools to control all these, in order to create optimal conditions in the body to utilize its natural potential to recover and recuperate
