Persistent Low Back Pain (PLBP)

PLBP refers to low back pain that persists for more than 3 months. It is the most common type of back pain and the leading cause of disability in the world. PLBP has the highest health care expenditure of any other condition. It is most common among 40-80 year olds which is the fastest growing age group in most western countries. The severity of back pain and risk of disability increases with age and is associated with higher rates of depression. This condition can lead to a decrease in physical activity and significant decline in overall health.

What are current treatments?


  • There is not one single treatment that is superior and works for everyone
  • Surgery is rarely an option for persistent LBP
  • Spinal injections rarely provide long-lasting benefits.
  • Medications are not considered first-line treatment for persistent LBP
  • Best approach for persistent LBP is a tailored conservative approach

How can the Boot Camp Program help people with Persistent Low Back Pain?


  • The 6-week Boot Camp Program for persistent LBP is a comprehensive approach based on the best available research
  • Combines manual therapy, tailored exercises and instruction on self-management strategies including ways to reduce fear and anxiety
  • Includes postural training and core activation with activities of daily living
  • Goal is to restore function, reduce disability and improve quality of life
  • Program tools include the Spinemobility Bolster (for specific exercises and for pain relief) and a pedometer to track physical activity
