Summary

Low back pain is common MSK disease with prevalence of 60 to 70 percent. Patients with low back discomfort are typically treated conservatively by physical therapists. Progressive muscles relaxation technique has been shown in several studies to reduce chronic back pain and increase flexibility. pressure biofeedback therapy works on Intra abdominal pressure.it helps to alleviate compression on lumbar spine and support the adjacent lumbar spine.The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effectiveness of pressure biofeedback training (Pr.BFB) in combination with progressive muscles relaxation technique (PMR) \& progressive muscles relaxation training alone on pain, disability, ROM \& endurance of muscles among nonspecific chronic low back pain patients.
