Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Usual Care
Participants allocated to the usual care group will be informed that they can access their GP in the usual way (GPs consultation, pain medication, referral for other treatments/ services) and that they should contact their GP if their condition worsens. In addition, they will receive a minimal educational intervention focused on symptom management and promotion of physical activity ("stay active").
Usual Care
Education; Pain Medication, imaging, referrals to other health services, other health care appointments
MyBack
Patients in the MyBack group will participate in a patient-centred, tailored exercise programme informed by a behavioural change approach in addition to receiving usual care. The MyBack intervention programme will consist of 12 bi-weekly sessions (60 minutes each) over 6 weeks complemented by 12 exercise sessions to be carried out autonomously by the participants over the following 6 weeks
Usual Care
Education; Pain Medication, imaging, referrals to other health services, other health care appointments
MyBack Program
A tailored exercise and behavioural change program
