Patients who expect to do well with yoga and physical therapy have the best outcomes in the treatment of chronic low back pain, according published results. In a randomized controlled trial, researchers at Boston Medical Center analyzed 299 adults with chronic low back pain (cLBP), testing for “responders†to the effectiveness of three treatment options: yoga, physical therapy and a self-care intervention option. A response was defined as a minimum 30% improvement in the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, according to the abstract.
