Brief summary (from the registry)
The goal of this randomized clinical trial\] is to study the effect of a combined aquatic and land-based exercise program compared to an aquatic program on pain, functional disability, and quality of life in adults with chronic low back pain. The main question it aims to answer is: "Does a combined aquatic and land-based exercise program improve functional disability and quality of life and reduce pain in adults with chronic low back pain?". Participants will perform an aquatic exercise program (control group) or a combined aquatic and land-based exercise program (experimental group). Researchers will compare groups to find any differences in pain, funcional disability and quality of life.
