Abstract

Movement is not that dangerous, I can make it!

—Client

Functional restoration is a concept for intervention of low back pain that has been developed by Mayer et al. (1985). It relies on the concept that disability and participation restriction among clients with low back pain is the result of complex interactions among pain, physical deconditioning induced by inactivity, and psychosocial issues. The social cost, mainly indirect costs, induced by sick leave payments for chronic low back pain is high, and this has led to the development of multidisciplinary programs that include occupational therapy interventions.
