Abstract: Back school may be a good strategy of preventing disorders of the spine (e. g. back pain), if it succeeds in transfering orthopaedic knowledge and exercises to its participants. However, information and exercises are no guarantee for success. The goal of low back school must be to reduce "spine-threatening" behavior and to build up "spine-adequate" behavior instead which has to be maintained over a long period of time. The ultimate goal is to build up a new habit of back hygiene. This can only be achieved in complex and subtle learning process. Low back school must create and provide conditions which enable such a learning process. Some learning essentials are discussed in the article.
