What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Myofascial Release techniqueOther
Also called Myofascial Release technique for chronic non specific low back pain
on low back 3 repetitions (30 second rest between reps), lasting for 30 s for each myofascial track for 1 set to targeted muscles (plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, hamstrings, and erector spinae). The position will be held for 10-15 seconds when a pain point is found lacrosse ball excellent for this type of massage because their surface area is much less than that of foam rollers.
Post facilitation stretch .Other
Also called Post facilitation stretch for chronic non specific low back pain.
static stretching exercises for the low back (plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, hamstrings, and erector spinae). Static stretching involved 3 sets of 3 repetitions for each muscle with a 30-second hold and 30-second rest interval for each repetition.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
. Numeric pain rating scale
NPRS is based on 11 points numerical rating scale for determining pain intensity, 0 ( no ;pain), 10 (worst pain imaginable).
Measured: 4 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Inclinometer
This instrument can measure Flexion, Extension, lateral flexion; a full range of tests ensures the best results. The Baseline Inclinometer is designed with your needs in mind; whether you need it for home or your professional clinic
Measured: 4 weeks
