| Straight leg raise test was used to measure the hamstring flexibilty in patients with Non-Specific Mechanical Chronic Low Back Pain. Timepoint: 3time points including Baseline, 2nd Week Post Treatment, 4th Week Post Treatment. Method of measurement: SLR will be measured by Universal Goniometer.;NPRS(Numeric Pain Rating Scale was be utilized to measure the intensity of pain. Pain intensity was rated 0-10 at a horizontal bar. NPRS consists of 11 points, which range from 0=no pain, 1-4=mild pain, 4-7=moderate pain, 7-10=severe pain. Timepoint: 3 time points including Baseline, 2nd Week Post Treatment, 4th Week Post Treatment. Method of measurement: NPRS will be utilized to assess pain. | — |

| Lumbar Flexion Range of motion is assessed by the use of Modified-Modified Schober's Test. This test uses Tape measure to measure the lumbar flexion range. To measure the range of motion, the therapist puts his thumbs on the inferior margin of the subject’s PSIS. An ink mark is drawn along the midline of the lumbar spine horizontal to the PSIS (lower landmark). While the therapist holds the tape firmly against the subject’s skin, he marks a second line 15 cm above the original one (higher landmark). Then the subject is asked to do an active anterior flexion of the trunk without increasing the pain. The new distance between the lower and higher landmarks is then measured. The subject returns to the neutral position. The difference in the initial distance between the skin markings in the neutral position and the new measurements made in the flexion position is used to indicate the amount of lumbar flexion. Timepoint: 3 time points, Baseline, 2nd Week post treatment,4th week post treatment. Method of measurement: MMST(Modified-Modified Schober's Test) will be utilized to measure Lumbar Flexion range.;ODI (Oswestry Disability Index) is a questionnair which measure low back pain function disability. It is a gold standard of low back functional outcome. There are 10 sections in this questionnair.Each section has six questions that score 0 to 5. Total score of all the sections is 50.Patients will fill the Questionnair and the scored will be (total possible score ) will be divided by 50 and then will be multiplied to 100 to get the percentage.0-20%=indicates minimal disability, 21-40%=Moderate Disability, 41-60%=Severe Disability, 61-80%=Crippled, 81-100%=These patients are either bed bound or exaggerating there symptoms. Timepoint: 3 Time Points Baseline, 2nd Week post treatment, 4th week post treatment. Method of measurement: ODI (Oswestry Disability Index) questionnaire will be utilized to measure Low back function. | — |
