Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effects of core strengthening on mechanical back pain in overweight adults.

The main question is aims to answer:

Is there an effect of core strengthening on mechanical back pain in overweight adults? The participants will be divided into two groups; group A and group B Group A will perform core strengthening after baseline treatment of therapeutic hot pack and Trans continuous mode for 10 minutes.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Core strengthening with conventional treatment

A detailed musculoskeletal examination of lumbar spine will be performed before the start of treatment. Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire for pain will be noted. An expert physical therapist with more than 7 years clinical experience will assist the patients in performing core stabilization exercise with conventional physical therapy protocol and routine physical therapy exercise. The session with the physical therapist will usually last for up to 40 minutes. This group will perform planks, side planks and superman exercises along with knee to chest, pelvic rotation, back extension, and bridge exercises after baseline treatment of therapeutic hot pack and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. continuous mode for 10 minutes.
