Summary

This study tests whether a special type of talk-and-movement therapy (Cognitive Functional Therapy) delivered via video calls works better than online Pilates classes for older adults with chronic low back pain. About 200 people aged 60+ with pain lasting over 12 weeks will participate from home. The goal is to see which approach reduces disability and pain more effectively.
