Summary
This study will survey 381 Egyptian physical therapists aged 25–55 who have had chronic low back pain for at least three months.

The goal is to understand the scale of these issues in this specific group of healthcare workers.

- What this could lead to
- If this study succeeds, it could highlight how fear of movement affects disability in therapists with back pain, pointing toward better support and training.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational survey, not a treatment trial. It only includes Egyptian physical therapists in Cairo, so results may not apply to other groups.
