I agree with this version of extension exercise. But it is limited. I use muscle strength with flexion versus extension to determine nerve compression. And then, yes, teach extension, hanging from a bar, using an inversion table, anything that will decompress the disc, specific to the level found. And really emphasize posture. I use a Gymboss repeating timer to give reminders every 30 minutes. AND I use chiropractic adjustments. In most cases the adjusting alone takes a long time but it works wonders together with posture and decompression. Yes, other modalities like needles, cupping, electrical stim, active release and supplements can help, but really working on posture, teaching the patient to do home decompression and some chiropractic will generally do the trick in fairly short order.
