Summary

This study tests if adding active movement to passive hamstring stretches improves flexibility more than passive stretching alone in people with chronic low back pain. Ninety adults aged 18-65 with long-term back pain and tight hamstrings will be randomly assigned to one of two stretching groups. Researchers will measure flexibility, stiffness, and pelvic tilt before and after a single session to see which method works better.
