Effectiveness of a technique of dynamic massage therapy in the hamstrings in patients with nonspecific low back pain.
The main objective of this study is to test the effectiveness of a technique of dynamic massage therapy in the hamstrings in patients with nonspecific low back pain. Secondary objectives are assess whether the technique of dynamic massage therapy increases the extensibility of the hamstrings, assess whether the treatment of hamstrings decreases low back pain and determine whether the application of this technique decreases the disability associated with nonspecific low back pain.

| Low back disability measured with the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire |
Oswestry Disability Questionnaire is an important tool to measure functional low back disability. For each section the total possible score is 5: if the first statement is marked the section score = 0; if the last statement is marked, it = 5. If all 10 sections are completed the score is calculated as follows: Example: 16 (total scored) 50 (total possible score) x 100 = 32% |
