Summary
This study tests whether sensorimotor balance training—exercises like wobble board and single-leg stands—can reduce pain and improve spinal alignment in adults with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Participants are randomly assigned to either balance training or standard physiotherapy for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach offers better relief than usual care.
