Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proportion of participants with a reduction in mechanosensitivity in lower limbs nerves (preassure pain threshold) measured with an algometer[The weekly assessment occur before and after each weekly session. Algometry will be used 2 months after intervention completion too];Proportion of participants with a reduction in pain measured with Visual Analogic Scale and LANSS Questionnaire[LANSS Questionnaire will be used at the beggining of the trial, at the middle (4 weeks) and at the end of the intervention (8 weeks). It will be used also 2 months post intervention completion.<br>Visual Analogic Scale will be used each weekly session (before and after each session) and it will be used also 2 months post intervention completion]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proportion of participants with a reduction in low back pain disability, measured with Rolland Morris questionnaire[At the beggining of the intervention, 4 weeks, at the end of the intervention and 2 months post intervention completion]
