This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determined the effects of sacral mobilizations along with the lumbar mobilizations in mechanical low back pain on components such as pain , lumbar range of motion, lumbar proprioception and functional disability.
This study is based on the concept the sacral hypomobility can cause low back pain. Sacral and lumbar mobilizations both improve low back pain.
