Back to Living Well: Implementation of a Community-based Program for Low Back Pain
Sponsor: McMaster University
Summary
Low back pain (LBP) is usually a long-term condition with episodes of improvement, remission, and recurrence. There is evidence that long term exercise combined with education and self-management is effective at reducing the negative consequences of LBP. However, problems with uptake and long-term adherence to such programs are often reported in the literature. Using best available evidence, the implementation of the BackToLivingWell (BLW) will be evaluated, a community-based online or in-person program for the prevention long term disability due to LBP through exercise and self management.

Back to Living Well Program
The Back to Living Well program (BLW), a sustainable community-based program for persons with persistent mild to moderate LBP. The goal of the intervention is to provide an opportunity for community dwelling persons with persistent mild to moderate LBP to learn how to safely engage in exercise and become active self-managers. The 12-week program will engage participants in weekly exercise sessions, education and self management sessions, and encourage independent exercise at least 1x per week. All participants will be encouraged to complete an action plan and watch online education videos weekly.
