Patients will be performing Logan short arc banding protocols to see the effect on
multifidus size

sectional area of their lumbar multifidi. Then they will perform 3 sets of 30 second periods
of Logan Short Arc Banding on the ATM machine twice a week for 4 weeks and then they will be
scanned again using diagnostic ultrasound to assess the effects of the rehabilitation
exercise.
