Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The present research project use a mix method, it aims quantify the bodily benefits when applying the method and understand from the subjectivity the implications for the self during the body activity of the Mezieres Method. The study will be mixed and in parallel with 82 people diagnosed with mechanical back pain. Three assessments will be made: one initial, one at the end of the intervention and one last follow-up six weeks after the end of the treatment. The tests to be used will assess pain, functional limitation related to low back pain, quality of life related to health, flexibility, range of motion and posture. For the intervention, participants will be divided into 2 groups, group one will receive Method Mézières and group two will receive conventional physiotherapy according to the protocols of a clinical institution in Bogotá. Parallel to the intervention, the participating individuals and physiotherapists will keep a field diary that will facilitate the understanding of the body experience by performing the method studied.
At the end of the study, it is intended to know the objective effectiveness by means of the comparison made in the two groups in the variables studied. In addition, an interpretation of the body experience is expected when performing the Mezieres Method in comparison with conventional physiotherapy. This interpretation of hermeneutic character will revolve around the theoretical construction of the "Use of self"; This concept is recognized as a technology of the self that will be pursued through the Mézières Method. By promoting the "Use of self" the person can recognize their body and appropriate what happens with their locomotor system, decreasing the symptoms of pain and improving the prognosis of care for people who have these symptoms.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Mezieres Method
The Mézières treatment has 3 postures that could be adapted to each patient, depending on his/her needs to correct variations in the dorsal curve and promote diaphragmatic breathing. The first objective was to recover extensibility of the hypertonic muscle groups and, in particular, those in the low back muscular chain. The time of tratment will be of 1 hour, two times a week, during 5 weeks.

The first objective was to recover extensibility of the hypertonic muscle groups and, in particular, those in the low back muscular chain: the paravertebral muscles and latissimus dorsi".
Conventional Physiotherapy
The treatment with conventional physiotherapy will include stretching of hamstrings, gluteus, (and others) hot pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, ultrasound and some exercises of core performance.The time of treatment will be of 1 hour, two times a week, during 5 weeks.
