Results: The qualitative analysis showed good feasibility and high acceptance among the participating physiotherapists. The pre-to post-treatment evaluation of Pain School, also gave an indication of positive treatment effects. Limitations: Lack of mental health mea-sures, author biases (authors carrying out training, interviews and analyzing qualitative results) and no control group.
