Abstract
The costs of National Health Service (NHS) physiotherapy for low back pain were estimated to be £251 million in 1998 [1]. Physiotherapy resources are overstretched and it is essential to make the best use of services available. The frustration and lack of a real cure for low back pain has led to a number of different interventions evolving without recourse to clinical trials. In 1995, managers of the Oxfordshire physiotherapy services were challenged in the Health Authorities Priorities Forum to provide evidence that the service they offered people with back pain was effective.
