Physical therapy regimens are usually in blocks of 4-8 weeks depending on what you are prescribed. Back pain however is very common, usually a result of improper sitting position, improper lifting and/or extensive abdominal weight gain. You are not garuntee to do only one round each time you suffer from back pain or throughout your life, very often this can be ongoing . Additional focus on weight loss, placing your bottom to the back of the chair when sitting to assist with posture, avoid slouching to one side or the other and use your legs primarily (similar to a squat) when bending to provide protection for your back long term .
