In part 1 of this JOSPT Insights x JOSPT Cases collaboration, clinicians Dr Cody Mansfield, Dr Laura Cutler, and Dr Jake Bleacher review their approach to supporting a patient with chronic low back pain.

First, they review the history, clinical assessment, and the interventions performed over the first 2 treatment sessions.

Next, the clinical team reviews how they decided when to leave the biomechanical world and when to focus on graded motor imagery and laterality training.

Dr Chris Hughes, Editor-in-Chief for JOSPT Cases, introduces the journal. He explains why case reports are important in musculoskeletal health and rehabilitation.
