•Inclusion criteria for this study were people with non-specific chronic or recurrent low back pain with reduced hip rotation range of movement. Chronic low back pain was defined as symptoms present on greater than half the days in a 12-month period, occurring in a single or in a multiple episodes (Von Korff, 1994). Recurrent low back pain was defined as symptoms present on less than half of the days in a 12-month period, occurring in multiple episodes over the year (Von Korff, 1994).
•Hip rotation range of movement was measured passively in prone using a standard goniometer.
•Passive rotation range of movement was assessed to eliminate lumbopelvic movement that may occur with active hip rotation (Gombatto, Collins, Sahrmann, Engsberg, & Van Dillen, 2006). Reduced hip rotation range of movement was either reduced internal rotation or external rotation (<30º) (Burns, et al., 2011).

•People were excluded if they reported a history of spinal infections, spinal surgery, rheumatologic disorders, marked spinal deformity, lower extremity impairment, osteoporosis, severe neurological involvement, cancer, or were currently pregnant.
