AIM: To investigate the effects of therapeutic exercise on postoperative recurrent lumbar disc protrusion. METHODS: One hundred and twenty-four patients who underwent the surgical treatment were randomly divided into rehabilitation group (n = 68) and control group(n = 56). The patients in the control group received rest and protecting waist therapy, besides which the patients in the rehabilitation group received persistent and chrinic therapeutic exercise after surgical treatment. RESULTS: The follow-up was performed on the the patients in two groups 3 years after treatment. The rate of recurrence in rehabilitation and control groups was 1.79% and 13.24% respectively, between which there was significant difference (Chi2 = 5.43, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Chrinic therapeutic exercise is important in decreasing the postoperative recurrence rate of lumbar disc protrusion.
