Great addition, thanks. To recap, Byron said:
1
For example you start out with back pain. Maybe it's severe and until you can get ahead of the pain you aren't going to get anywhere. For someone in this position of acute injury prescription drugs, muscle relaxers and pain killers, may be the only option.
2
Next you have to heal your spine's basic integrity. You can't do much with the muscles until the joints are at least somewhat sound. SO you wind up doing inversion, or on a traction table, doing Mackenzie exercises, etc.
3
Once that's done, you can work on strengthening what's weak and stretching what's tight.
4
This process can be sped up dramatically with some soft tissue therapy, whether it be the heavy artillery - active release therapy (ART) or the Graston technique, myofascial release or other deep tissue massage, or rolling around on a foam roller or a ball.

HA! Good one, B.
