What is the most important information about exercise and physical therapy?

One study showed that patients who underwent exercises to move the back gained flexibility that their counterparts who were subjected to staying in bed throughout the experiment, which lasted a week, did not gain it. Therefore, doctors advise patients to stay in bed for a day or two at most, and then begin their normal lives, as the movement pumps lubricating substances into the discs located between the vertebrae, which works to soften them and thus flexibility of their movement. Therefore, they consider physical therapy one of the most important methods of treating back pain.
