Summary

Low back pain (LBP) is usually a long-term condition with episodes of improvement, remission, and recurrence. There is evidence that long term exercise combined with education and self-management is effective at reducing the negative consequences of LBP. However, problems with uptake and long-term adherence to such programs are often reported in the literature. Using best available evidence, the implementation of the BackToLivingWell (BLW) will be evaluated, a community-based online or in-person program for the prevention long term disability due to LBP through exercise and self management.
