Facet Joints - Lumbar

[ogelkumpiaaiaeeiq]

Hi all,

I've been having problems with my lower back for the last few months and saw a physio 2 weeks ago who said it was a problem with the facet joints. He gave me some exercises to do (knee hugs and twists) which just seemed to make it worse. I went back to the clinic again this Monday and saw a different physio who once again gave the same diagnosis and told me to continue the exercises. But the symptoms just seem to be intensifying, not getting any better - does this sound normal!?

I am due to go back to the physio again on Monday but not sure....

Thanks
