Yoga for chronic non-specific low back pain
Low-back pain is a very common problem, and a variety of treatments have been assessed in Cochrane Reviews.

The review was led by Susan Wieland of the Cochrane Complementary Medicine Field in the USA, together with colleagues from Canada, Germany and the UK. Here ’s another of the authors on the review, Shireen Harbin from the Institute for Work& Health in Toronto Canada to tell us about the latest findings. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)
