Overview

This study will be conducted to determine the effects of slump stretching vs lumbar mobilization with exercises in relieving non-radiculating low back pain. There will be two groups; Group I will receive Slump stretching along with standardized exercises and Group II will receive Lumbar mobilizations along with standardized exercises.

Physical therapist commonly examines and treats patients with low back pain. For this purpose, they utilize a wide range of interventions for the management of Low back pain. The rhythmical movement is thought to modulate pain and muscle spasm by stimulating receptors within the mobilized structures while, In recent years, neurodynamic test procedures, have also been used as interventions to potentially resolve abnormal physiology within the nervous system. So for this purpose not only the present study can provide an additional evidence to the literature but also can can also demonstrates a structured Physiotherapy plan for treating the Non-Radiculating Low back pain
