control group
The control group relaxed by lying prone quietly in the same environment and for the same period of time as the treatment group. After the study period had ended and all data were collected, the control group were offered a session of TTM for their back. The same pre- and post- treatment assessments were conducted on both groups. At the end of the study, all participants in both groups were given the opportunity for instruction in a series of back exercises to conduct at home.
