If it isn't to much hassle emailing them would be great Micheal.
I have been using strapping for acute backs for the last two years.
seems to work really well, no great research behind it other than patients
coming back and asking me to strap them again, or when giving them the
option of varying therapeutic interventions they decide for strapping.
May be it works because I say to them that it will enable them to be more
active during the day, and they should do as much as they are comfortable
with. but I think theirs more to it.
could be this early morning flexion thing as mentioned in Spine.
Not a bad edition for us.
Kind Regards
