About

This study will be conducted to determine the effects of slump stretching vs lumbar mobilization with exercises in relieving non-radiculating low back pain. There will be two groups; Group I will receive Slump stretching along with standardized exercises and Group II will receive Lumbar mobilizations along with standardized exercises.

Full description

Physical therapist commonly examines and treats patients with low back pain. For this purpose, they utilize a wide range of interventions for the management of Low back pain.

The rhythmical movement is thought to modulate pain and muscle spasm by stimulating receptors within the mobilized structures while, In recent years, neurodynamic test procedures, have also been used as interventions to potentially resolve abnormal physiology within the nervous system.

So for this purpose not only the present study can provide an additional evidence to the literature but also can can also demonstrates a structured Physiotherapy plan for treating the Non-Radiculating Low back pain

---

40 participants in 2 patient groups

Slump stretching group

Experimental group

Description:

Slump stretching will be performed with the patient in the long sitting position. The position will be held for 30 seconds. A total of 5 repetitions will be completed. Patients will also complete a standardized exercise program consisting of pelvic tilts, bridging, wall squats, and quadruped alternate arms/legs activities as described by Cleland et al. Patients will perform 10 repetitions of each exercise.

Treatment:

Other: Slump stretching

Lumbar mobilization group

Active Comparator group

Description:

Maitland Grade 1 - 2 Posterior to anterior lumbar spine mobilization will be applied for 30 - 45 seconds for all segments through L1 to L5 at rate of 1 oscillation per 2 seconds. Patients will also complete a standardized exercise program consisting of pelvic tilts, bridging, wall squats, quadruped alternate arms/legs activities as described by Cleland et al. Patients will perform 10 repetitions of each exercise.

Treatment:

Other: Lumbar mobilization
