Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial\] is to study the effect of a combined aquatic and land-based exercise program compared to an aquatic program on pain, functional disability, and quality of life in adults with chronic low back pain. The main question it aims to answer is: "Does a combined aquatic and land-based exercise program improve functional disability and quality of life and reduce pain in adults with chronic low back pain?".

Participants will perform an aquatic exercise program (control group) or a combined aquatic and land-based exercise program (experimental group).

Researchers will compare groups to find any differences in pain, funcional disability and quality of life.

Conditions

  • Chronic Low-back Pain (cLBP)

Interventions

OTHER

Aquatic Exercise Program

This intervention will include 16 sessions of an aquatic-exercise program, twice a week, over 8 weeks at a water temperature between 32-34°C. Each session will be conducted in groups of 8 to 12 patients and will last about 45 minutes.

OTHER

Land-based Exercise Program

This intervention will include 8 sessions in 8 weeks, once a week. Each session will last between 25 to 35 minutes and will be divided into two components: core stability exercises and stretching of the trunk and lower limbs.
