Brief Summary

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

Effectiveness of a technique of dynamic massage therapy in the hamstrings in patients with nonspecific low back pain.

Detailed Description

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

The main objective of this study is to test the effectiveness of a technique of dynamic massage therapy in the hamstrings in patients with nonspecific low back pain. Secondary objectives are assess whether the technique of dynamic massage therapy increases the extensibility of the hamstrings, assess whether the treatment of hamstrings decreases low back pain and determine whether the application of this technique decreases the disability associated with nonspecific low back pain.
