Change from baseline in Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) at one month.
The Roland Morris disability questionnaire is a self-administered disability measurement scored on a 24-point scale from 0 = no disability to 24 = severe disability
Time frame: 4 weeks
Change from baseline Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at one month.
The Oswestry disability index evaluates daily life activity limitations in 10 dimensions, each scored on a 6-point scale (0-5 points); the total points scored are expressed as a percentage, used to classify individuals as minimally disabled (0-10%), moderately disabled (20-40%), severely disabled (40-60%), crippled (60-80%), or bedbound (80-100%).
Time frame: 4 weeks
Change from baseline Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at one month
The visual analogue scale for pain intensity ranged from 0 = no pain to 10 = worst imaginable pain
Time frame: 4 weeks
Change from baseline Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) at one month
The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia comprises 17 items on the fear of movement or recurrent lesion, each scored on a 4-point Likert scale from "completely disagree" to "completely agree".
Time frame: 4 weeks
Change from baseline Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) at one month
Examination of PPT will be performed with the use of an Algometer. According to International Association for the Study of Pain, PPT is the smallest stimulus causing the feeling of pain (International Association for the Study of Pain, Subcommittee on Taxonomy, 1986). The examination will carried out twice in the same places, on the left and right sides following the protocol described by Sipko et al.2013: musculus erector spinae - at the level of L2, 3 cm away from the interspinous line; musculus gluteus medius - between the greater trochanter and iliac crest sideways; musculus triceps surae - the transition of the belly of the muscle into the tendon; and musculus tibialis anterior - one-third of the upper shank, at the front.

Change from baseline Mechanosensitive/the Seated Slump Test neurodynamic testing at one month
The subject will be positioned in an erect sitting position on an examination plinth with the popliteal creases just off the edge of the plinth. The subject will be asked to sit in a slouched position. After, the subject will be asked to actively flex the cervical spine as far as comfortably possible. After, the subject's ankle will be then passively dorsiflexed to slight resistance, while the knee is slowly passively extended.The knee will be extended until the subject reports onset of neural-mediated symptoms.The degree of knee extension will be measured with a large universal goniometer.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Change from baseline Mechanosensitive/straight-leg raise neurodynamic testing at one month
The subject will be positioned in supine with standardized head support. After the test will be performed with the ankle in neutral position and with 30º of ankle flexion. The hip will be flexed with the knee extended until the subject reports onset of neural-mediated symptoms. The degree of hip flexion will be measured with a large universal goniometer.
