I went to PT once for my neck and all they did was give me stretching exercises for my neck. I asked them about my back, now and after I have L3-5 replaced and they said it would be more stretching to loosen and elongate the muscles etc to accommodate the new disk height you now have. They said with the ADR, the motion is there, so all they do is move your head or hips around. You did have sessions with Laia, right. They don't do that here, which is a shame, because she was very good. While I was there, I got her to do my back a couple of times, and I went right to the flexibility I had before my accident.
