swiss ball pikes exercises

Group B patients will be instructed to perform swiss ball pikes by getting into the pushup position, the rest of the tops of their feet on a swiss ball. Each patient should keep her legs as straight as possible, bend her hips and try to pull her feet towards their chest so that the ball rolls forward. Hold at the top for three to four seconds, then slowly roll back to the starting position. This exercise will perform a minimum of one or two and a maximum of 10 repetitions, two times a day and two days a week. Both exercises will be performed for 12 weeks in both groups. Isometrics, back stretching, and strengthening exercises will be given as a common intervention for both groups before starting the treatment session.
