Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of a physiotherapy program for chronic low back pain. We'll randomize more about 35 patients in two groups. Both groups will receive an 8 physioterapy intervention in 4 weeks, in particular the first group (study) will receive 4 Fascial Manipulation treatment combined with 4 session of a standard approach (mobilization and stretching exercises); whereas the second (control) will receive only the standard approach.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

All patients were assessed and randomised by a physician. The control group intervention concerned of: relaxation of lumbar and respiration muscles, stretching for posterior muscular chain and hip flexors, assisted/active mobilization of lumbar region in sagittal plane and rotation, exercises to improve proprioception of lumbar spine, active and progressive movement of lumbar spine in anterior flexion, extension, lateroflexion and rotation, active exercise for lumbar stabilizers muscles, occupational training for activity of daily living, indications and recommendations for correct postures. The study group intervention received 4 manual intervention on deep fascial tissues, according to fascial manipulation tecnique, providing a specific motor and manual assessment, and a deep manual intervention over specific fascial alteration.
