The Minister for Health, James Reilly, will launch a new primary care initiative today aimed at tackling back and neck pain through early intervention and treatment.
"Back-Up", which is supported by Aviva Health Insurance, is being endorsed by more than 150 chartered physiotherapists across the country.

Back pain affects around 80 percent of the Irish population.
Former Ireland and Munster rugby player Jerry Flannery is also supporting the initiative.
