Brief summary (from the registry)
The use of various muscle energy techniques to address fascial restrictions, in addition to three-dimensional correction within scoliosis-specific exercise approaches, suggests that these exercises may have different effects on thoracolumbar fascia thickness. This may, in turn, lead to varying impacts on low back pain and functional improvement. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of different scoliosis-specific exercise approaches on thoracolumbar fascia thickness, low back pain, and function in individuals with idiopathic lumbar scoliosis and chronic low back pain.
