A model where tai chi reduces pain symptoms via reducing catastrophising is tested.
•
Catastrophising mediated 1/3 of the effect on pain and 2/3 of effect on disability.
•
Behavioural components (graded activity progression) are likely to be involve.
•
Research suggests self efficacy and muscle strength as other candidate mediator.
•
Future trials should include robust process evaluations to inform clinical use.
