If you’re struggling with chronic non-specific low back pain, you’re not alone! It’s the most common musculoskeletal issue globally. A recent systematic review shows that lifestyle interventions can significantly reduce pain and improve function. This includes treatments like exercise, education, self-management, and most notably, Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT).
Key Insights
- Lifestyle programs that combine physical activity, pain education, and behavioural strategies are more effective than doing nothing or just receiving advice.
- Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) stood out as particularly effective. It addresses the physical, emotional, and social aspects of chronic pain.
- Motivation, professional support, and positive reinforcement enhance outcomes.
This study reinforces a broader, biopsychosocial approach that treats the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Real Benefits for Real People – Participants in the studies saw a measurable drop in pain and better daily function. The key is consistency and support — patients who had guided, structured interventions improved more than those left on their own.
