- Abstract
- Method. One hundred identical questionnaires were equally distributed between fifty osteopaths from the BSO clinic faculty, and fifty fitness instructors randomly selected from six local health clubs. The questionnaires were designed to ask, 1) the mode of exercise prescribed, 2) at what intensity, 3) the duration and, 4) at what frequency, for the rehabilitation of a person with low back pain (LBP). The participants were asked to complete and return the questionnaires by a specific date, using the stamped addressed envelopes provided, or placing the forms into a box file located on each team point at the BSO. Results and Clinical Significance. A Mann-Whitney test found that there was significant difference between the recommended exercise duration (p=0.0149), and frequency (p=0.0304) in the training programmes between the two subject groups. The results of the study may influence osteopaths when prescribing future exercise programmes for the rehabilitation of patients with LBP.Conclusion. Osteopaths and fitness instructors prescribe significantly different training programmes to rehabilitate LBP when advising exercise frequency and duration.
