Summary
This pilot study tested whether a short, 1.5-day program of education and exercise is feasible for people with subacute or chronic low back pain who haven't improved with first-line treatments. 23 working adults participated, and the study measured how acceptable they found the program. The goal was to see if this less intensive approach could be a practical option before considering more intensive rehab.
