Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Pain and disability are the primary outcomes which will be determined using:
1. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)
2. Oswestry disability index (ODI) Data will be taken before and after the intervention protocol for each participant.
Data collection procedure: Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research. Informed written consent will be taken. Pre and post intervention scores will be recorded.
