There are multiple lumbar clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) from highly reputable sources; however, synthesized information in an applicable format for the clinician does not exist.

We will also provide information on contextual factors that will aid in implementation with individual patients. This course is appropriate for physical therapists and athletic trainers treating low back pain in an outpatient setting.
