Brief Summary:
The purpose of this clinical trial was to find out whether Tok Sen massage (a massage method with wooden instruments from northern Thailand) is more effective than pressure massage in relieving pain and improving quality of life in participants with chronic low back pain. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can Tok Sen Massage Relieve Chronic Lower Back Pain? Can Tok Sen massage improve the quality of life of patients with chronic low back pain? Researchers compared Tok Sen massage with pressure massage, which works on low back pain, to see if it could treat chronic low back pain.
Participants will:
Receive Tok Sen massage or pressure massage every week for 1 month. Questionnaires and flexion measurements before and after each massage. After the massage session, fill out the online questionnaire once a month for three months.

Detailed Description:
Low back pain is the world's leading cause of global productivity loss and the leading cause of years lost with disability (YLDs), with a high prevalence of 28%-42% among those aged 40 to 69 years. The prevalence of different occupations in Taiwan ranges from 35% to 90%; according to the summary of the National Health Insurance Database results report: "The annual prevalence of low back pain is 14% to 45%, and 70% to 85% of people in their lifetime Suffering from low back pain. "Most people who experience low back pain cannot identify the specific source of the injury, and up to 90% of low back pain is non-specific. Approximately 85% of patients with low back pain cannot obtain accurate pathological anatomy diagnosis.

Patients aged 20-69 years old with non-specific chronic low back pain were randomized divided into two different groups. 7 people in the Tok-Sen Massage group received a 40-minute intervention once a week for a total of 4 times, and 7 people the Pressure Massage group received a 40-minute intervention once a week for a total of 4 times.
Massage area are on the bladder meridian on the back and the spleen, liver and kidney meridian of the lower limbs.
