Proper Title: Trial of NHS Physiotherapy compared with advice for LBP
Dear Frost H. et al,
Happily this paper has evoked the appropriate responses, and support
the need for heavy scrutiny of research purporting to provide evidence
where in fact the methods show something else entirely.
I suggest:
- Stronger scrutiny of research titles.
- A better NHS system for the UK. Certainly this research goes a
long way toward proving how inadequate it really is with respect to
providing physical therapy (using Mr Potter's definition) for LBP.
