Summary

This study tested whether a combination of education and exercise could help healthcare workers avoid repeat episodes of lower back pain. Over 350 workers with a history of back pain took part in small-group sessions or continued usual care. The goal was to see if the program reduced sick leave and prevented chronic pain over two years.
