Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Research1: Men and women aged 18 to 70 years old who visited a clinic in Sendai (Shirakihara Clinic, Minamikoudai, Izumi Ward) with a primary complaint of lower back pain, were diagnosed with non-specific lower back pain (X-ray imaging showed no osteoarthritis of the hip), and received treatment as part of insurance-covered medical care, and who agreed with the purpose of this study and cooperated in providing medical information. Research2:Male and female nurses and caregivers aged 18 to 70 years old (regardless of whether they have back pain) who work at a care facility (currently undecided) and agree with the purpose of this study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Those who are pregnant or may be pregnant.For Research 2, those who have been diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal canal stenosis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, or other lumbar diseases, or those with a history of spinal or hip surgery, were excluded.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Back pain evaluation will be performed at the first visit and four weeks after rehabilitation using the NRS (numerical rating scale) and JOABPEQ (Japanese Orthopedic Association back pain evaluation questionnaire).The evaluation criteria for JOABPEQ are: 1) if the post-intervention score increases by 20 points or more compared to pre-intervention, 2) if the pre-intervention score was less than 90 points and the post-intervention score reached 90 points or more; if either 1 or 2 is met, it will be judged as "effective," and the relationship between the rate of stretching implementation and hip joint range of motion and improvement in back pain will be compared.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Both Reserach1 and 2 will also consider the effects of treatments other than rehabilitation and stretching, such as the use of oral medications and external medications.	—
