Incredibly proud of the WalkBack team led so well by Tash Pocovi. This study should change how we approach back pain.

Adults with a history of low back pain went nearly twice as long without a recurrence of their back pain if they walked regularly, study finds. 🔗 hubs.li/Q02CzRzR0

It has been a privilege to be involved in the RESTORE and WalkBack.  They have more in common than you may think. Both interventions focus on empowering patients, therapists as coaches, and reducing fear through graded exercise and individualised education. Peter O'Sullivan

Such a practical and important tool Julie. Thanks for your wonderful leadership on this project.

The STarTBack Tool, a commonly used tool, but not always clearly reported how this tool is implemented. ⁦Chris Maher⁩ ⁦Mark Hancock⁩ ⁦Caitlin Jones⁩ bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/6/e…

Thanks Chris, the global interest has been amazing. Hopefully this provides opportunities for large scale change in how we approach and fund back pain care.

Tash Pocovi will present the WalkBack study results today at IFOMPT IFOMPT Peter O'Sullivan

Heading home after great IFOMPT conference. Feeling so privileged to travel the world sharing our work and spending time with wonderful kind people. IFOMPT

Moderation papers can be confusing. We found very large effects of CFT (6.1 RMDQ points) in the most impacted patients. This is an exciting result for people with with highly disabling back pain.

In this moderation paper we kept the moderators continuous unlike nearly all moderation or subgroup studies. This provides more informative results as per graphs Pete posted below. Big thanks to Prof Anne Smith for running these complex analyses.

Congratulations Leticia on developing such an important tool to measure knowledge and beliefs about back pain. Simon French Leticia Corrêa
