Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Arabic version	from baseline to the end of the 6th week	assesses the impact of back pain on daily life across 10 sections. Each section covers different activities and aspects of daily living. The responses are scored from 0 (no impact) to 5 (maximum impact), with higher scores indicating greater disability

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) arabic version	from baseline to the end of the 6th week	the questionnaire includes questions about various domains of activity, such as job-related activity, transportation, housework, and leisure-time physical activity
Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS)	from baseline to the end of the 6th week	An 11-point scale that start at 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)
Finger-to-floor test (FFT)	from baseline to the end of the 6th week	Participants will be asked to bend forward as much as possible, the distance between the tip of the middle finger and the platform is measured in Cm using a measurement tape.
