Brief summary
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.
Detailed description
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

Intervention model description
The two groups will be Slump stretching group and Lumbar mobilization group. All physical therapy techniques in both groups will be applied 3 times in a week up to 2 weeks with each session consisting of 25-40 minutes. Group 1 will receive slump stretching along with standardized exercises while group 2 will recieve lumbar mobilization along with standardized exercises. Demographic details of the patients will be collected at baseline (1st Visit) while Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire,Numeric pain rating scale,Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire,Active range of motion (AROM) of lumbar spine and Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) will be measured at baseline, 1st week, and final week.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric pain rating scale | 2 weeks | On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain at all and 10 being the worst pain imaginable. |
| Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire | 2 weeks | The questionnaire has been designed to give the therapist information as to how the back pain has affected the ability to manage in everyday life. |
| Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) | 2 weeks | SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire | 2 weeks | It consist of two scales; Scale 1: fear-avoidance beliefs about work Scale 2: fear-avoidance beliefs about physical activity |
| Active range of motion of lumbar spine. | 2 weeks | It includes; lumbar flexion lumbar extension left lateral flexion right lateral flexion |
