Abstract

Background Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common complaints and is the main reason for discomfort experienced by adults younger than 45 years of age. Weak co-ordination and stabilization of the trunk muscles is one of the main causes of LBP. Objectives To study the effects of Yoga and Pilates mat exercises on pain, disability and core stability using Modified Oswestry Disability Index, Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance test and Trunk Stability Test. Material and Methodology Total number of 60 female participants between the age 18-35 years with non specific Low back pain for more than 3 months were selected by simple random sampling. Modified Oswestry Disability Index, Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance Test and Trunk Stability Test were used to assess pain, disability and core stability pre and post intervention. Participants were divided in 3 groups , Group A was given Yoga Mat exercises, Group B was given Pilates mat exercises and Group C was given conventional exercises for Low back Pain. Results After comparing pre and post intervention data using paired and unpaired t test results showed, there was significant improvement in pain, disability (p<0.0001) and core stability (p < 0.0001) in both group A and B but no significant change in Group C. Conclusion Both Yoga and Pilates mat exercises have equal effects on pain, disability and core stability in young working women with non specific Low back pain.
