Brief Summary

•Low back pain is the leading cause of years lived with disability YLD globally. It has been increasing every year and results in activity limitation and absenteeism from work. The

lifetime prevalence of low back pain is reported to be as high as 84%, and best estimates suggest that the prevalence of chronic low back pain is about 23%, with 11–12% of the population

being disabled by it. Research has highlighted the increased prevalence of LBP among young and middle-aged people. The incidence of low back pain in employees with sedentary behavior

was 14. 37% and the prevalence of people experiencing low back pain is 34-62%. â€¢Non-specific low back pain is defined as low back pain not attributable to a known cause and represents

90–95% of the cases of Low back pain. The estimated point prevalence of non-specific low back pain is 18%. In the working population, 24.61 percent of patients with recent

onset of LBP developed chronicity. The pain, disability, and impaired quality of life related to chronic LBP contribute to a considerable socio-economic burden for people with chronic low

back pain and society. The etiology of low back pain is widely accepted to be of multifactorial origin, including individual, physical, and psychosocial factors.•Sedentary workers usually

requires pro- longed sitting posture. Lack of movement during sitting may induce the shortening of soft tissues, which consequently limits the available joint range of movement. Limited

joint movement may distort the normal body bio-mechanics and contributes to musculoskeletal disorders. Moreover, the subjects with chronic low back pain had limitations of activity due

to central sensitization.

Clinical practice guidelines often recommend pain neuroscience education alongside other Physical therapy interventions  such as exercise to patients with chronic low back pain as the first line

treatment.

•However, it remains unclear which exercise program has a greater effect and a longer lasting positive effect on people suffering from LBP and performing sedentary work
