It depends upon the portion of bulging, if bulging is more, physiotherapy affects less. A good therapist can manually press the bulge and can make it normal if it's small bulge.
Next Steps
It's all ready been a year so meet Orthopedic doctor first and get a MRI done again for the current status.
Health Tips
You can apply combination therapy (hot and cold pack) till than.
