NHS Choices has summarised this study and put into perspective some reports in the media. It highlights that it is not yet clear whether adding yoga to exercise is any better than exercise alone, and that there are some limitations of the study, firstly that the majority of the RCTs reviewed were in the US, not all trials reported all outcomes, and that outcomes were self-reported and at risk of bias. In summary NHS choices highlight that when it comes to lower back pain it is important to stay as mobile as possible, and that yoga could be one of a range of possibly beneficial exercise based treatments for back pain.
