Summary

Implementing workplace strategies to manage symptoms in office workers with chronic nonspecific spinal pain (CNSP) may improve both health- and work-related outcomes, as adherence to these interventions is more feasible in this context. Exercise therapy is considered the first-line treatment for CNSP; however, the added value of combining exercise therapy with manual therapy remains inconclusive. This study aims to examine the effects of short sessions of exercise therapy plus manual therapy, compared with exercise therapy plus sham manual therapy, delivered in the workplace, on health- and work-related outcomes in office workers with CNSP.
