Summary
The current study is a randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of the Mezieres Method combined with core stabilization versus routine physiotherapy involving core stabilization on muscle imbalance, body awareness, and postural alignment in athletes with lower back pain. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: an experimental group receiving the Mezieres Method plus core stabilization exercises and a control group receiving routine physiotherapy treatment involving core stabilization alone. Outcomes related to muscle imbalance, body awareness, postural alignment, and pain/function will be assessed before and after the intervention period. The study seeks to determine whether the Mezieres Method combined with core stabilization provides additional benefits in athletes with lower back pain.
