Summary

This study tested two exercise programs—tailored mat exercises and the Mackenzie method—in 62 post-menopausal women with chronic low back pain. Both groups also received heat and TENS therapy. The goal was to see which approach better reduced pain, improved function, and eased disability over 10 weeks.
