Begrunnelse:
Et behandlingsforløp basert utelukkende på manuelle behandlingsteknikker gir dokumentert dårligere resultat sammenlignet med tiltak som inneholder aktiv medvirkning fra pasienten. Manuell behandling bør slik sett aldri stå alene, men utføres sammen med informasjon om mekanismer som fører til og opprettholder smerte, råd og veiledning om fysisk aktivitet, og anvisninger om hvordan pasientene kan forholde seg til egen smerte.
