Abstract: Background: Non-specific low back pain is defined asLBP not related to a pathological problem. Nursing is a profession with high incidence and prevalence of low back pain (LBP) with its medical and professional consequences. The prevalence of non-specific low back pain among Indian nurses is 53.4% and this is predisposed by the nature of their work. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of remote area MFR with stretching versus specific area MFR with stretching. Materials and Methods:In this study, 60 subjects with non-specific LBP were randomly divided into 2 groups i.e. group A and group B with 30 subjects in each group. Group A was given Remote MFR with flexibility exercises to SBL components of myofascial.....
