Conclusion
LBP, disability, MM, pain
HEAT
The MM relieved pain more effectively than the control intervention of heat, massage, strengthening and stretching exercises immediately after 5 weeks of treatment although both interventions were equally as effective at the 6-week follow-up time point, both interventions have shown results with clinical relevance in pain and disability. MM is perceived by participants as a teaching–learning process focused on BA that allows effective management of symptoms related to LBP. Based on the results of the study, MM can be recommended as a management option for patients with LBP as outcomes are equivalent to those obtained with exercise interventions as advocated in clinical practice guidelines.
