Summary

To date, there have been limited clinical trials conducted to determine the effects of manual therapy combined with passive stretching and inclined board standing for treating low-back pain. This will be the first randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effects of these integrated interventions. The study aims to develop a new approach towards the cost-effective management of low-back pain, in line with the World Health Organization's (WHO) vision of maximizing health outcomes, preventing disability, and reducing the cost of care.

Manual Therapy

After the baseline assessment, each intervention group will be given physical therapy treatment.

The patient then will be asked to stand on the inclined board for 01 minute with feet 3 to 4 inches apart hands placed on the wall at the level of shoulder joints. After 01-minute patient will be asked to leave the inclined board. The patient will be advised to do this 01-minute inclined board standing for three times a day at home. All the patients in Group A will receive this treatment regime for two weeks.
