This would certainly be well received by Ashburn and Herndon back pain patients suffering with lumbar spine stenosis, the most common reason for spine surgery in US adults. Manual therapy and individualized exercise programs delivered better short-term symptom improvement, physical function and walking capacity than medical care or group exercise. (2)
