EFFECT OF PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISES IN CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN PATIENTS

Focusing on the often-overlooked pelvic floor muscles, this study investigates their role in treating chronic low back pain (LBP). It highlights the lack of evidence supporting the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) exercises when combined with standard treatments like ultrasound and lumbar strengthening. Previous research has shown methodological flaws, such as small sample sizes and inconsistent testing protocols. This study aims to determine if incorporating PFM exercises enhances treatment outcomes for patients suffering from chronic LBP.
