Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

NPMP is a body-mind awareness approach, often given in a combination of massage, exercises and conversations. The NPMP is individualized, with duration of 45-60 minutes in each session. As the NPMP is a longitudinal and normally slow process to obtain change, treatment can last up till one year, in the beginning once a week, and after some time once a month.

Other: Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy

Cognitive Patient Education and PT

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The comparison group will receive a combination of education about how to manage pain (COPE) followed by active individual physiotherapy.They will receive one session weekly with COPE, given by a physiotherapist, maximum 4 times, followed by active individual Physiotherapy (PT).

Other: Cognitive Patient Education and PT

Interventions

Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy OTHER

The recruited patients will after randomization receive either Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy (NPMP) or COPE combined with active individual physiotherapy. In NPMP the treatment is individualized, targeting body-mind awareness through exercise, massage and therapeutic conversation
