Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Is there any difference in interventions on reduction of pain.
2. Is there any difference in interventions on reduction of disability.
Participants will in the experimental group will be treated with a combination of:
1. 448kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency and,
2. PNF intervention
Participants will in the control group will be treated only using
1\. PNF intervention (identical to experimental group)
Researchers will compare experimental and control group to see if there are differences in reduction of pain and disability.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group
Participants in the experimental group will be treated with a combination of 448kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency and Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) over the course of two weeks.
1. 448 kHz radio frequency therapy will be carried for a duration of 15 min. Contact cream will be applied beforehand to increase the electrical conductivity in the treated area.
2. After the radiofrequency therapy, participants will exercise for exactly 20 minutes using the PNF concept exercises to mobilize the pelvis and lumbar spine, primarily strengthening the muscles of the abdomen, back and hips.
Therapy will be administered for a total of 5 times in two weeks. Three times in week 1 and two times in week 2.
448kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency
Capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency (CRM) treatment is a type of medical procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the targeted tissue.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a type of physical therapy that uses techniques such as stretching and strengthening exercises to improve muscle function and movement patterns.
Control group
Participants will exercise for exactly 20 minutes, over the course of two weeks, using the PNF concept exercises to mobilize the pelvis and lumbar spine, primarily strengthening the muscles of the abdomen, back and hips.
Therapy will be administered for a total of 5 times in two weeks. Three times in week 1 and two times in week 2.
This is identical intervention and the second intervention in the experimental group.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
