简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine if a certain treatment for low back pain can change the way nerves in the leg send messages. Specifically, the investigators will examine whether a particular type of physical therapy treatment for individuals with low back pain (neurodynamic techniques) changes the speed that nerves send/receive signals to/from the leg, as compared to a different physical therapy treatment.

研究组 & 干预措施
Mobilizations
The physiotherapist will perform mobilizations to the L-spine and SI joints with the participant in a specific position.
干预措施: Mobilizations (Other)
Exercise
The physiotherapist will teach the participant how to tighten the transversus abdominus muscle. The participant will be asked to do a series of these exercises.
干预措施: Exercise (Other)
