Inclusion Criteria

Primary complaint is persistent disabling low back pain; dominant activity limitations being any of bending (such as picking up objects from the floor, bending while gardening), sustained sitting or standing postures (such as driving, watching television or standing) and/or sit-to-stand (such as rising from chair/bed or getting out of a car) as these were the most commonly reported in a sample of 39 patients with non-specific persistent disabling low back pain (unpublished data); Body Mass Index less than or equal to 30kg/m2 (to limit validity concerns about surface-based measures in overweight and obese individuals).

Exclusion Criteria

Non-disabling low back pain (mean baseline patient specific functional scale score <3/10 for two consecutive weeks), and a planned leave of absence greater than two consecutive weeks throughout the 22-week study period (due to the intensive and frequent measurements required for analysis).
