Funded Activity Summary

Physical activity is recommended internationally for the treatment of low back pain, but can prove beneficial or harmful. Ensuring it is prescribed safely and effectively is therefore of paramount importance. This research will advance the field by elucidating the relationship between back pain and physical activity. In collaboration with Medibank Private I will design and test e-health physical activity programs to reduce the burden of back pain for urban and rural communities.
