Resume therapy: Best to use a combination of massage, physical therapy, acupuncture, and moist heat to stabilize. A home exercise program appears to be useful over the long run, and a PT can provide directions for the McKenzie approach. Typically best to avoid back braces. Review postural awareness with your treatment team.
