Brief summary (from the registry)
The main objective of the study was to assess the impact of deep tissue massage on subjective and objective parameters in a group of office workers with chronic low back pain. Specific objectives: * Assessment of the impact of deep tissue massage on the level of pain * Assessment of the impact of deep tissue massage on the level of disability * Assessment of the impact of deep tissue massage on the mobility of the lumbar spine * Assessment of the effect of deep tissue massage on the discomfort threshold of tissue compression in the area of the erector spinae muscle * Assessment of the impact of deep tissue massage on the biophysical parameters of the soft tissues of the erector spinae muscle * Evaluation of the impact of deep tissue massage on the bioelectric potentials of the erector spinae muscle during everyday activities and the flexion-relaxation test Hypotheses: * Deep tissue massage will reduce the level of pain in the lumbar spine * Deep tissue massage will reduce the level of disability * Deep tissue massage will increase the range of motion of the lumbar spine in all directions * Deep tissue massage will reduce the threshold of discomfort when compressing the soft tissues of the erector spinae muscle * Deep tissue massage will reduce muscle tone and stiffness and increase the elasticity of the back extensor muscle * Deep tissue massage will increase the bioelectrical potentials of the erector spinae muscle while performing tests of activities of daily living * Deep tissue massage will reduce the value of the flexion-relaxation test
