It is generally used during all phases of a back pain episode and may be prescribed after a thorough evaluation of the patient's specific condition. * bracing exercise: patient is instructed as follows: "Draw your navel up towards your head and in toward your spine without moving your pelvis. Continue to breathe normally as you do this." * walking exercise: treadmill gait with tolerable gait speed * flexibility exercise: stretching exercise(control)
