Interventions

OTHER

Control

The patients allocated to the Control group will be treated by physical therapists who did not carry out the training before treatment. The physical therapists will use their usual care for nonspecific chronic low back pain. Patients will receive 10 sessions of treatment over a period of five weeks (two sessions/week). Each treatment session has an estimated duration of 50-60 minutes.

OTHER

Trained

The patients allocated to the Experimental group will be treated by physical therapists who carried out the training before treatment. The training will be designed to guide the physical therapists beliefs and attitudes to a biopsychosocial model; update knowledge contained in clinical practice guidelines; and enable physical therapists to identify, integrate and address psychosocial factors in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain. Patients will receive 10 sessions of treatment over a period of five weeks (two sessions/week). Each treatment session has an estimated duration of 50-60 minutes.
