  5. @advantagephysio @JayS_Tan Next question would be - does it increase both for acute & chronic LBP and if so - what's the real association?
  6. @JayS_Tan @advantagephysio I concur with both of you. Research suggest though, that increasing prevalence of LBP precedes medicalization...
  7. @MSKKlinikken Yes, been fly fishing :o) Good stuff & have only begun! Will be spending more time on the river than online 4 quite a while.

  16. @advantagephysio Yup. And the illusion lives on. Low back pain is part of life. Like age and grey hair.
  17. @advantagephysio Good question. Historically there's no indication that we can. To a small degree, we may prevent it from becoming chronic.
