Brief Summary

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

Non-specific low back pain is a common condition. Exercise is effective treatment for chronic low back pain. We hypothesized the functional exercise group will present pain reduction and functional improvement.

The purpose of this study is investigated the effectiveness of an functional exercise program for people with nonspecific chronic low back pain. Patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups: control group (minimal intervention - mini back school and analgesic) and group will receive a functional exercise protocol associated with minimal intervention.
