hello john,
sorry to trouble you, particularly because i am entering this thread late.
But perhaps you could provide the references to your points (paricularly
point 2)below so i could take a look at the original works.
I have read the paper regarding spondylo and stabilization, but i am not
aware of the other ones you refer to. Personally i have not found these
techniques have out performed other techniques that i have used. However i
do find them more time consuming to teach to patients. They not yet been
endoresed by any national guidelines quite yet either as far as i know (i.e
AHCPR, UK, Denmark, etc). Nonetheless, if stabilization has been shown to
reduce recurrent bouts of lbp compared to other interventions that would be
a quite an interesting read.
Thanks,
John Dufton DC
