Adherence

Exercise therapy provides slight but statistically significant improvements in pain and function for adults with chronic non-specific low back pain, with greater benefits observed in healthcare populations compared to general population samples.

If you have chronic low back pain, exercise therapy is recommended. It offers slight but real improvements in pain and daily function. You are more likely to benefit if you receive this therapy through a healthcare provider rather than self-guiding from general resources. Expect mild soreness, but the net benefit is positive.
