Brief Summary:
Low back pain (LBP) is the most frequent complaint encountered in clinical practice. Exercises and manual therapy prescription are common physical therapy treatments prescribed for the patients presenting with chronic low back pain. The interventions will establish the future direction for practitioners in choosing the manual therapy or repeated exercises as effective prescription and provide a basis for future research
Detailed Description:
A variety of treatment interventions, modalities and techniques are used in physical therapy management of non-specific low back pain including manual therapy, exercises, neural mobilizations, stretching soft tissue techniques and dry needling etc. Out of these more recent literature supports manual therapy, self exercises, patient counseling and awareness have been recommended in back pain management guidelines, in the United States and is also frequently used in clinical practice in various countries.
Despite multiple theoretical frame works proposing the role of SNAGs and MDT mobilizations and exercises respectively, the literature on the true mechanism of direct or indirect physiological effects of these on performance or performance-related outcomes is vague and lacks justifiable procedural rigor.
The results of this study will provide information regarding the direction for practitioners in choosing the manual therapy or repeated exercises as effective prescription and provide a basis for future research.
