Summary

There will be two groups of patients with low back pain (by randomization). Both groups will receive a pragmatic treatment approach by physical therapists for low back pain. One group will also receive a prescriptive treatment approach for both hips. The investigators feel that the additional of a standardized exercise program and stretching for the hips will improve outcomes in patients with mechanical low back pain.
