Clinical Consult

I have a general question which I believe can be answered by this readership.  In both the recent Spine publication by Whitman et al and the slump sitting article by Cleland et al the frequency of visits were BIW.  Why is BIW chosen vs. TIW or one time per week?  This question often comes up in my clinic as to what is the best general frequency for patients.  Is there research to show one frequency is significantly better than another?
