I don't claim to know what's right for treating a bulging disc. I've never had one, though I have had a pinched nerve, and more recently a compression fracture, so I've been through my fair share of physio.
My physio who treated me shortly after my compression fracture, seems to have been a lot like yours. The exercises he gave me included bending forward. It actually made the pain worse. The next physio focused mostly on massage. When the pain and inflammation went down, she got me exercising, and none of it included bending forward.
I'm curious to know if your PT doing anything to relax your back--massage, cupping, etc? What about things like taping it to help restrict movement?

Thank you for your response. My PT doesn’t do massage. He makes me bent different ways and presses hard on my hips. He wants me to constantly walk bent forward. Only he does is ultrasound and electric stimulation. Not sure if this helping or hurting. I went to see neurosurgeon today morning and he told me that the pain is manly from osteoporosis and I have to have a different therapist. He gave me name. I will try. My pain is so unbearable and I am not sure anymore where is coming from. It’s so frustrating.
