Hello all those seeking to learn about conservative treatment!
Someone pointed me in the direction of a physical therapist (who is a member here), and I discovered the following poster presentation that she presented at the 2007 SOSORT conference.
Case studies can be very valuable tools, because you get to follow one person's journey through a process. They are often used to help clinicians develop clinical reasoning skills, and how to alter treatment strategy depending on a person's unique factors.
Here's the link:

I find this particularly interesting because:
1) the "subject" was already middle-aged and had significant pain and deformity.
2) the results show that a very specific exercise approach can be effective
at significantly reducing pain, improving posture and quality of life.
