For people with chronic low back pain treatment options are limited. Exercise seems to be the most effective treatment, although effects are small (Hayden, van Tulder, Malmivaara, & Koes, 2005). It doesn’t seem to matter which exercise is used (Macedo et al., 2011), they all seem to be equally and moderately effective (Costa et al., 2009). This is not good news for people with low back pain and the therapists who are trying to help them.
At NeuRA we’ve developed a new treatment, informed by neuroscience and underpinned by contemporary pain theory (Bray & Moseley, 2011; Wand, Abbaszadeh, Smith, Catley, & Moseley, 2013; Wand et al., 2012). We received a grant from the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council to test this new treatment in a randomized controlled trial at NeuRA in Sydney. If successful, this completely new treatment will be a major addition to management of chronic low back pain.
