Detailed Description

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

Low back pain is among the leading musculoskeletal problems worldwide causing serious health expenditures. It can affect people of all ages in the community, but it is common in individuals between the fourth and fifth decades of life. Low back pain is divided into 3 subclasses according to the duration of the symptoms as Acute (lasting only a few weeks), Subacute (lasting about 6 to 12 weeks), and Chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks).Traditional exercise approaches are frequently used modalities in the treatment of Chronic Back Pain as an extremely valuable approach to preventing movement limitation, controlling existing pain, and regaining motor functions. Pilates exercises are very valuable for the treatment of low back pain because they provide stabilization. Pilates activates the lumbopelvic muscles and supports functional movement as an effective factor in reducing pain. Yoga is also a mind-body exercise discipline that includes both physical and mental aspects of pain with core strengthening, flexibility, relaxation, and breathing modalities.When the literature was reviewed, no study was detected examining the effectiveness of Hammock Yoga and Reformer Pilates in people who have Chronic Back Pain and compares it with traditional mat exercises.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Reformer Pilates

Reformer Pilates were performed, 2 days a week, for 4 weeks, in a total of 8 sessions (45 minutes each). The exercises of the Reformer Pilates were given as individual sessions by the physiotherapist. Reformer Exercises were explained by the physiotherapist in detail to understand the movement and starting position correctly, and the participants were then asked to perform the movements.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Reformer Pilates

Intervention Type OTHER

Reformer Pilates exercises activates the lumbopelvic muscles and supports functional movement. Activated muscles support the spine and reduce the load on the spine by correcting the posture, helping the core muscles such as the abdomen and spine stay healthier by attaching them to a neutral pelvis Pilates consists of a sliding platform working with the help of a pulley system specific to the use, allowing the individual to apply certain resistances, and providing the opportunity to exercise sitting, standing, or lying down.

Hammach Yoga

Hammock Yoga were performed, 2 days a week, for 4 weeks, in a total of 8 sessions (45 minutes each). Hammock Yoga were given as individual sessions by the physiotherapist.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hammock Yoga

Intervention Type OTHER

Hammock Yoga is performed with a silk hammock, which is an auxiliary equipment. The most distinctive characteristic that makes Hammock Yoga different from other exercises is the spine traction provided by the upside-down posture, and the smooth and shiny silk hammock allows strengthening exercises. The Hammock Yoga aims to reduce the load on the spine by upside-down postures that defy the laws of physics.

Mat

Traditional mat exercises were performed, 2 days a week, for 4 weeks, in a total of 8 sessions (45 minutes each). The mat exercises were applied as a home program. The exercises were visually given with detailed explanations on a piece of paper, and they were checked by telephone every week.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Traditional mat exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

The mat exercises help build core strength, stamina, and motor control of the abdominal and lumbar trunk musculature. The exercises focus on the re-education of a precise co-contraction pattern of local muscles of the spine. Also mat exercise increases the level of endorphins and the stimulation of mechanoreceptors, causing biomechanical stress to support healing in tissues.
