Sponsor's own description

The investigators would like to know which one of two exercise programs will have a greater effect on balance, functional performance, daily function, and pain on individuals with low back pain (LBP) after 2, 4 and 8 weeks.

Specifically, the differences in dynamic balance, functional performance, pain intensity, and disability level will be compared between participants who receive spinal stabilization exercises program (SSE) and those who receive a general exercise program (GE) which includes range-of-motion (ROM) and flexibility exercises.

The research hypotheses are:

1. The SSE program will significantly improve dynamic balance and functional performance in adult participants with sub-acute and chronic LBP at two and four weeks as well as after an eight-week follow-up after initiating intervention.
2. The SSE program will significantly improve pain intensity and disability level in adult participants with sub-acute and chronic LBP at two and four weeks as well as after an eight-week follow-up after initiating intervention.
3. In adult participants with sub-acute and chronic LBP, the group receiving the SSE program will demonstrate significantly improved dynamic balance, functional performance, pain intensity and disability levels compared to the placebo group receiving the GE program at two and four weeks as well as after an eight-week follow-up after initiating intervention.
