About

Radicular low back pain (RLBP) is a common and debilitating condition characterized by nerve root irritation or compression, often resulting in altered biomechanics, muscular imbalances, and postural deviations such as anterior pelvic tilt.

Full description

Rehabilitation strategies commonly focus on improving flexibility, neuromuscular control, and nerve mobility. Among these, dynamic stretching and neural mobilization techniques have shown individual effectiveness, but limited evidence exists on their comparative or combined effects on pelvic alignment and functional outcomes, particularly in early middle-aged adults. Addressing this gap could support the development of more targeted, evidence-based rehabilitation protocols.
