the website does not appear to have been updated at all:
still links to the 2007 guideline and

Support you to increase activity levels in a safe, graded way

Treatment will cover topics such as:

• Understanding and managing symptoms
• Monitoring activity levels
• Establishing baselines
• Identifying appropriate graded increases

Treatment requires some commitment. If you want to achieve the maximum benefit from treatment it is important that you attend regularly. You will also be set tasks to do between sessions. Carrying out these tasks is an important part of your treatment and good progress is unlikely to happen without them. Many people find that by utilising this self-management approach they can continue to maintain their gains long after treatment has finished.
