Motor Control Exercise

"Exercise aiming at improving function of specific muscles of the lumbopelvic region and the control of posture and movement.~In addition, participants will perform stretching exercises aiming at targeting the postural muscles and connective tissue around the lower back, pelvis and lower limb that tend to get shortened in chronic LBP, and they will be advised to perform aerobic exercise in the form of overground walking at desirable speed at home."

BEHAVIORAL

Patient Education

"Patient education to enable patients to better understand their pain, change any unhelpful beliefs about LBP, and integrate self-management and active coping strategies that deals with fear avoidance behavior and catastrophic thought.~In addition, participants will perform stretching exercises aiming at targeting the postural muscles and connective tissue around the lower back, pelvis and lower limb that tend to get shortened in chronic LBP, and they will be advised to perform aerobic exercise in the form of overground walking at desirable speed at home."
