7. Conclusions
We rejected the null hypothesis that no difference would be seen in pain intensity and functional status after 4 weeks as compared with Cyriax physiotherapy treatment. The groups that performed supervised exercise program for 4 weeks showed significantly reater improvement in reduction of pain and functional status than the Cyriax physiotherapy treatment. The favorable results in the present study indicate the need for future research examining the incorporation of supervised exercise program into multimodal treatment regimens.
