Fifty-four (54) individuals were enrolled in the trial. The average age was 51.81; SD = 12.54, and a majority were female (63%). The mean length of chronicity (days from symptom onset to physical therapy) visit was 174.61 days (SD = 179.58) and 20% had received physical therapy for a similar problem in the past. At baseline, the mean PCS score was 8.98; SD = 8.11, SPADI (total score) was 35.48; SD = 2.13, and MODEMS-E was 4.36; SD = 0.68. At baseline and prior to randomization, 70% of individuals either disagreed or strongly disagreed with the statement that they were interested in having surgery for their current condition.
