Evaluation of the Effects of a Rehabilitation Program in Individuals with Spine Pain

"Exercise prescribed to participants includes spine-specific strengthening exercises targeting core musculature (i.e. Multifidus, Erector Spinae, Transversus Abdominus, Obliques, and Rectus Abdominus). The in-clinic exercise program recommends a minimum of 20 visits at 2 visits/week, with a goal of 24 total visits over a 12-week period. Exercise is progressed by 5-10% of their exercise load once they are able to do \>20 repetitions. If they are able to reach \>10 but \<20 repetitions, exercise load remains the same. If they are unable to reach 10 repetitions, exercise load is decreased 5-10% at their next visit.~The online exercise program includes non-machine based home exercises targeting the same muscles of interest, and are personalized to each participant based on their home resources and comfort level.~Concurrent interventions may or may not include nutrition education, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy."
