Brief summary (from the registry)

Low back pain is categorized according to its duration as acute (\<6 weeks), sub-acute (6 weeks - 12 weeks) and chronic (\>12 weeks). Low back pain can be either specific or non-specific. Specific low back pain is because of specific spinal pathologies including; Malignancy, Infection, Osteoporotic Collapse, Fracture, Ankylosing Spondylitis or other inflammatory disorders and Cauda equina compression. About 19 in 20 cases of acute (sudden onset) low back pain are classed as 'non-specific' It is called 'non-specific' because it is usually not clear what is actually causing the pain or there is no specific problem or disease that can be identified as to the cause of the pain.Functional Resistance Training (FRT) involves multiplanar and multi joint resistance exercises that simulate movement patterns from everyday life and sport Functional training exercises tend to focus more on the coordination, technique, posture, and core engagement instead of on training loads.
