Summary

This study aims to learn about the effects of aquatic and land exercises on managing chronic low back pain in adults aged 18-65. The participants engage in a 12-week supervised land and water-based exercise program.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* How effective are aquatic exercises on low back pain, functional disability, Kinesiophobia, sleep quality, and overall quality of life?
* Is aquatic therapy more effective than land exercises for treating LBP or vice versa?

Conditions

  • Chronic Low Back Pain (Non-specific, Uncomplicated)

Interventions

OTHER

Aquatic Exercises

The aquatic exercise intervention consists of structured, supervised, water-based exercises designed and delivered by an experienced physiotherapist specifically for individuals with chronic low back pain. Sessions are conducted in a temperature-controlled swimming pool with proper warm-up and cool-down. The intervention follows a progressive intensity approach with easy, medium, and hard approaches.

OTHER

Land Exercises

The land-based exercise intervention mirrors the aquatic exercise protocol regarding exercise type, duration, frequency, and progression but is performed on land.
