The Path Forward
A 3-step approach for a stronger evidence base:
1๏ธโฃ Integrate reporting frameworks from design to publication
2๏ธโฃ Strengthen systematic review methodology
3๏ธโฃ Enforce reporting compliance across the ecosystem
Together, this enables precision exercise prescription

Final Takeaway
Once reporting and review standards improve, we can move beyond โsome exercise is better than noneโ toward tailored, evidence-driven, safe, and clinically meaningful exercise prescriptions for each MSK pain presentation.

Key factors that separated people with back pain from those without were:
- social function & psychological well-being
- Lower lumbar disc herniation & degeneration
- Neck & hip mobility

๐ง Caveat: Neck & hip mobility may be โnoiseโ; our study can't infer causality.
๐ Still, the data stand on their own.
๐ Next steps:
โ Follow-up in same individuals (causality)
โ Toward refined diagnostics & phenotyping in chronic non-specific back pain.
