Chronic low back pain (CLBP) can be debilitating, often requiring multimodal intervention including manual therapy (manipulation, soft-tissue therapy), general and specific exercise modalities, acupuncture, tissue-sparing strategies, ergonomic advice, and so on. One aspect that is frequently ignored (I admit that I am often guilty of this) is the assessment and rehabilitation of breathing patterns.
