Low back pain is the main reported reason for absence from work and the most common cause for years lived with disability in the UK. The majority of patients who present to primary care improve rapidly, but up to one third are left with ongoing or recurrent symptoms that greatly affect their quality of life and lead to considerable healthcare and social costs
