Detailed Description
It will be randomized control trial with 60 patients with chronic low back pain divided into 2 groups. One group will be given segmental stabilization whose purpose is to achieve segmental control over primary stabilizers. Second group will be given just generalized lumber stabilization exercises as it includes close chain exercises with low velocity as well as low load. This study will be conducted in Rehabilitation setup of Benazir Bhutto hospital Rawalpindi and IIRS that is Rehabilitation dept. at Al Nafees medical college and hospital, Islamabad. Non probability Convenience Sampling technique will be utilized
