About

Fifty five participants diagnosed with CNSLBP, will randomized into three groups. Group I (18 subjects) will receive 15 sessions of Conventional Physiotherapy program (CPP) 5 times per week, Group II (19 subjects) will receive 9 sessions of SNAGs, and Group III will receive CPP plus SNAGs. Outcome measures are pain, ROM, spinal mobility, fear avoidance behaviour and function. Measurements will record before, after and 6 month after the end of the treatment.
