title: Back basics: general information for back school participants.
abstract: Back schools have been proved to be one of the most effective methods of treatment for patients with chronic back pain and disability, and almost every physical therapy clinic now offers some form of education to their back patients. This chapter has attempted to establish what basic information should be available to a person dealing with a back injury, and to offer a logical manner of presenting this information.
