[...]there was a statistically significant difference in the body-fat ratio and pain levels across different age groups, with after-treatment levels being lower than before treatment.

Ma 4noted that manipulative correction of the segmented part of the spine and a strengthening of the muscles or ligaments, as well as reduction of pain, can be a sustainable and effective treatment method. Since the mid-1980s, the cause of lower back pain has been seen as a lack of physical strength. Lower back pain is closely related to reduced muscular strength in the lower back. [...]this study, too, sees that the increase in muscular strength in the lower back brought about by McKenzie/William exercises contributed to the reduction of pain.
