The incidence of lumbar pain affects approximately 80% of the population at some point in their life, being, therefore, a major public health problem. The differential diagnosis of the spinal diseases is very broad, but it is known that a substantial number of occurrences are related to posture and inadequate body movements. Therefore, the Back School developed a treatment option for these patients. This work focused on the evaluation of pain level and the lack of functional capacity of the patients before and after attending the Back School. The Roland-Morris survey and the analogical visual scale of pain were used for such purpose. A total of 30 patients were evaluated from May 2004 to November 2004. The sample consisted of predominantly middle-aged (median of 48.1 years), overweight (70%), females (86.7%) from low education levels. The majority of patients demonstrated improvement of the pain (56,7%) and the function ( 60%) by the end of the rehabilitation program.
