Study group
EXPERIMENTALMirror image exercise is a novel technique that utilizes visual feedback to enhance motor control and body awareness in reducing pain and improving function in individuals with mechanical low back pain.
Control group
PLACEBO COMPARATORPatients in this group received the traditional program of exercises in the form of back muscles stretching exercises and abdominal muscles strengthening exercises.
Interventions
Patients will recieve mirror image postural exercise on the 3D postural analysis
Exercises in the form of back muscles stretching exercises and abdominal muscles strengthening exercises.
