Back School for Low Back Pain

A back school teaches you practical information about back care, posture, body mechanics, back exercises, and how to prevent long-term back problems. Back school gives you the tools for self-care, which may improve how well you manage low back pain.

Research on how well back school works is mixed. Some studies have shown that back school can improve low back pain and speed recovery. Other studies have shown no benefit or have shown mixed results.
