What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Low back pain (LBP) is a common health issue-affecting individual across diverse ages and socio- economic backgrounds, with approximately 80% of the population experiencing this musculoskeletal concern at some point in their lives. Despite its prevalence, the prognosis for LBP is generally favorable, emphasizing the importance of effective management strategies aimed at reducing pain and improving functional ability. The Feldenkrais Method and the Otago Exercise Programme (OEP) are two interdisciplinary approaches that have demonstrated promise in addressing mechanical non-specific low back pain. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these two intervention protocols in alleviating chronic low back pain while concurrently enhancing functional abilities and reducing the risk of falls among older adults. The study will be a randomized controlled trial conducted on participants.
