Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Study group
Mirror image exercise is a novel technique that utilizes visual feedback to enhance motor control and body awareness in reducing pain and improving function in individuals with mechanical low back pain.
Other: Mirror image postural exercises
Patients will recieve mirror image postural exercise on the 3D postural analysis
Placebo Comparator: Control group
Patients in this group received the traditional program of exercises in the form of back muscles stretching exercises and abdominal muscles strengthening exercises.
Other: Back exercises
Exercises in the form of back muscles stretching exercises and abdominal muscles strengthening exercises.
