Brief Summary:
This study aims to explore the multidimensional impact of Global postural reeducation in a population that is not only physically overburdened but also psychologically strained due to the demands of domestic life. Unlike conventional therapies that often focus solely on pain relief, GPR offers a comprehensive intervention model that may simultaneously enhance physical function, reduce psychological stress, and improve sleep quality. By targeting housewives with chronic non-specific LBP, this study seeks to fill a critical gap in the literature and provide evidence for a more inclusive, preventive, and non-pharmacological approach to musculoskeletal and mental health management
Detailed Description:
Low back Pain (LBP) is a primary cause of disability among people of all ages and a major contributor to the global burden of diseases. Non-specific low back pain is a form of low back pain without any specific identified underlying disease or any anatomical abnormality. Global postural reeducation (GPR) is a physical therapy protocol that focuses on eccentrically stretching the muscular chains which are shortened due to behavioral, psychological and constitutional factors. For this method physical therapists guide the patients a series of gentle active movements and maintain postures aiming to stretch the shortened muscles, realign the joints and also enhance the contraction of antagonist muscles. It is a randomized control trial which will be conducted on 30 patients calculated using G\*power software. Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be randomized into 2 groups i.e. GROUP A (global postural reeducation with conventional therapy) \& GROUP B (conventional therapy). Patients in Group A will receive global postural reeducation technique with conventional therapy and Group B will receive conventional therapy alone which includes hot pack for 15 minutes, Static stretching for iliopsoas and rectus femoris and other exercises two times a week.
Outcomes will be measured at baseline and at the end of 3rd week, at the end of 6th week.
