Brief summary (from the registry)
Low back pain is sometimes non-specific, leading to pain and spasm due to muscle imbalance causing changes in biomechanical properties, back and limb muscles, leading to dictating a significant association between low back pain and overpronation. FAKTR (functional and kinetic treatment with rehabilitation) Therapy employs this mobilization with proprioception and resistance treating these biomechanical changes.

Eligibility criteria
Show eligibility criteria (verbatim from the registry)
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 25-45 * Both males and females * History of three or more occurrences of lower back pain in the year before the study. - The diagnosis is confirmed by the pain experienced between the inferior gluteal folds and the costal margins. * Moderate to severe pain is measured using a Numerical pain rating scale. * Foot Posture Index score higher than +6. A total score ranging from -12 to +12 is obtained by measuring the subject's six feet using the Foot Posture Index (FPI). The following are the reference values for the posture of the feet: A neutral position is indicated by 0 to +5, a pronated position by +6 to +9, a hyper-pronated position by +10 to +12, a supinated position by -1 to -5, and a very supinated position by -6 to - 12. Exclusion Criteria: * No recent history of lower limb fractures or injuries * No history of surgical treatment experience for spinal stenosis, spina bifida, or disc herniation * No neurological issues or constriction of the nerve roots. * Previously diagnosed with Osteoporosis. * SIJ dysfunction evaluated by Compression test positive * Congenital deformities
