Hi Kiwi,

sorry for late reply as I had been away for some time.
Your opinion definately worth much more than 2 cents

I 'experimented' on few patients and had the same finding like you.
Certain patients pain scale increase when prac McKenzie in pr. position, but pain
goes off with pillow support;
while some display totally contradicting symptoms.

Pain elicited might be due to hyperext of lumbar spine,
causing sudden increase of discal pressure, & compression of surrounding structure possibly lead to increase neural tension.
I am yet to find out any evidence regarding this.
Could anyone tell me if thr's any journal or paper that I could refer to?
Please correct me if I am wrong.

once comfort approach is determined, result is more satisfactory with trunk lat. flx added into the component.

Anthony, I am yet to see him since i went off.
Do hope he improve.
thanks.
