There was an error in the original publication [1]. It was due to a decimal point error in converting the raw thoracolumbar fascia thickness data from centimeters to millimeters. The decimal point for thoracolumbar fascia thickness in Tables 2 and 3 was incorrect. The corrected Table 2 and Table 3 are shown below. And the sentence in Section 4. Discussion was corrected as follows: “The mean TLF thickness in the PT and control groups before the intervention was 2.55 mm and 2.63 mm”.

Table 2. Post differences of ultrasound data within groups using paired-sample t-test.

Outcomes	Group	Before	After	p-Value
Fascia thickness L (mm)	PT	2.56 ± 0.64	2.57 ± 0.63	0.835
	Control	2.56 ± 0.69	2.56 ± 0.66	1.000
Fascia thickness R (mm)	PT	2.54 ± 0.6	2.47 ± 0.59	0.127
	Control	2.69 ±0.67	2.67 ± 0.69	0.152
Echo intensity L (CSA^EI)	PT	71.9 ± 9.7	68.5 ± 9.5	<0.001
	Control	73.9 ± 8	73.6 ± 8.1	0.270
Echo intensity R (CSA^EI)	PT	73.7 ± 8.1	68.4 ± 9.2	<0.001
	Control	74.2 ± 8	73.4 ± 7.8	0.02

Note: Fascia thickness L: left side of thoracolumbar fascia thickness; Fascia thickness R: right side of thoracolumbar fascia thickness; CSA^EI: echo intensity of cross-sectional areas. Data is presented as Mean ± SD (Standard deviation).

Table 3. Post differences of all the outcomes between groups, baseline adjusted using ANCOVA.
