Brief summary (from the registry)
The purpose of the study is to compare, after functional multidisciplinary rehabilitation for chronic low back pain, an exercise program to the routine follow-up which is simply to advice patients to exercise regularly at home. The exercise program should help patients stay active, which should translate into a better long term quality of life and decreased days off work.
