It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED not to perform any of the activities that created the problem. Extreme sports, heavy lifting, or weight-bearing activity for at least 3 weeks or as instructed by Dr. Davison.

Dr. Davison has created a special joint and ligament rehabilitation system found on the DVD, “Integrated Qi Gong for Lower Back Pain.” This has all of the movements for most areas treated with RIT. Dr. Davison will instruct you as to which section of the DVD to follow subsequent to your treatment.
