Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from baseline in Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) at one month.
Time Frame: 4 weeks
The Roland Morris disability questionnaire is a self-administered disability measurement scored on a 24-point scale from 0 = no disability to 24 = severe disability
Secondary Outcomes

- Change from baseline Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at one month(4 weeks)
- Change from baseline Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) at one month(4 weeks)
- Change from baseline Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) at one month(4 weeks)
- Change from baseline Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at one month.(4 weeks)
- Change from baseline Quality of Sleep at one month(4 weeks)
- Change from baseline Mechanosensitive/the Seated Slump Test neurodynamic testing at one month(4 weeks)
- Change from baseline Mechanosensitive/straight-leg raise neurodynamic testing at one month(4 weeks)
