Although Programs 1 and 2 have been applied with a high degree of success in a clinical setting, BackTherapist.com cannot guarantee any success or relief as the Programs may not be appropriate for you. A qualified physical therapist can offer additional suggestions and apply mobilization techniques to the spine when indicated and therefore contribute significantly to the outcome of the program.
