Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Novelty: Pilates, typically performed with specific equipment, has shown clinically significant treatment effects in people with chronic low back pain. Recent guidelines recommend patients remain active during episodes of low back pain; however, evidence regarding the type of exercise to perform is limited. Mat Pilates is a type of Pilates exercise that does not require complex equipment. Evaluating the effectiveness of two simple exercise methods (Mat Pilates and General Exercises) can help expand intervention options for patients with acute low back pain, enabling them to choose an exercise they enjoy most.

Mat Pilates
Mat Pilates exercises targeting core strength, flexibility, and muscle control
Mat Pilates
Duration: 50 minutes per session Repetitions: 8-12 repetitions per exercise Sets: 2-3 sets per exercise Rests: 30-60 seconds rest between sets Frequency: 3 times per week for 4 weeks Exercises: A series of Mat Pilates exercises targeting core strength, flexibility, and muscle control
General Exercises
General Exercises
General exercise is a structured exercise program designed to help individuals with back pain improve their fitness levels. The program comprises of a series of exercise classes that are led by a physiotherapist. The classes involve a combination of aerobic, strength, and flexibility exercises, and aim to improve overall physical fitness, reduce pain, and improve function. The program is specifically designed for individuals with back pain, and the exercises are tailored to meet the needs of each participant. The Back to Fitness Program is based on the principles of exercise prescription and is intended to be a safe and effective way to manage back pain through exercise.
