Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the combine effects of core stabilization exercises and Myofascial Induction therapy on lumber pain, core endurance and quality of life on postpartum low-back pain.
Detailed Description
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Bashir Hospital and Fatima Hospital, Sialkot recruiting 40 female patients (aged between 20-45 years) with postpartum low back pain. Participants will be randomly assigned into two groups using a non-probability convenience sampling technique. The Experimental group A will receive myofascial induction therapy along with core stabilization exercises thrice a week for a total of 8 weeks, and the Control group B will receive only core stabilization exercises three times a week for a total of 8 weeks. Both groups will also receive baseline treatment that includes a hot pack and TENS for 15 minutes. Outcome measures include lumbar pain, core endurance and quality of life will be measured by using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Supine Bridge test and the Short Form health survey (SF-36) and. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 21. Outcome measures will be assessed pre-test and post-test.

Arms & Interventions
CORE STABILIZATION EXERCISES & MYOFASCIAL INDUCTION THERAPY
Core stabilization exercises include bird-dog, side bridges, Curl ups and supine extension bridge. The Myofascial Induction therapy techniques related to the lumbopelvic region contain stroke application, deep induction application, cross-hands induction of the lumbar spine, and hip-flexor region induction.
Intervention: CORE STABILIZATION EXERCISES (Other)
