Brief summary (from the registry)
This study compares percussive therapy and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) for chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP). Percussive therapy uses handheld devices for rapid pressure pulses to promote muscle relaxation and pain relief. IASTM employs specialized tools to massage tissues, break down scar tissue, and enhance flexibility and blood flow. The research aims to assess their effects on pain reduction, muscle flexibility, and functional improvement in CNSLBP patients.
