Therapists' outlook on the treatment and management of chronic lower back pain.
Thank you very much for choosing to participate in this questionnaire. My name is Reneira and I am a PhD researcher at Imperial College London looking at novel ways to help people with chronic lower back pain (cLBP) perform therapist-recommended exercises from home and provide tools that therapists can use to help better understand their patients outside of the clinic environment. This questionnaire will help me better understand how the current management process works and where improvements could be made to help both therapists and their patients. Further information about this project can be found at: https://medtechsuperconnector.com/ventures/reneira-seeamber/
