Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Feldenkrais method affects balance in patients with mechanical low back pain. The main questions it aims to answer is: does Feldenkrais method affects balance in patients with mechanical low back pain. Participants will: Be assessed for inclusion using slump and straight leg raise tests. Visit the clinic twice every week for sessions. Assessed pre and post treatment using Biodex Balance.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Balance

  Using Biodex Balance System 3 parameters will be assessed. Overall stability Mediolateral stability Anteroposterior stability

  Baseline and 5 weeks.

Study Arms (2)

Feldenkrais Method balance exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Balance exercises in Feldenkrais method plus core stability exercises

Other: Feldenkrais Method and Core stabilization

Core stability exercises only

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Core strengthening exercises to engage global and local stabilizers of the spinal column as Bridging exercises, Side bridging exercise, plank, side plank, McGill Abdominal exercises. Each exercise will be repeated for 3 sets with 8 repetitions with hold for 5 seconds.
