ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how the Feldenkrais Method, a type of movement therapy, may help improve balance in patients suffering from mechanical low back pain. The main goal is to find out if practicing this method can lead to better balance for those who have been dealing with back pain for at least six months.
To participate, individuals should be between 65 and 74 years old, have mild to moderate back pain that doesn't extend beyond their knees, and have not had any spine surgeries or serious injuries. Participants will visit the clinic twice a week for sessions where they will be assessed before and after treatment using a balance testing system. This trial is currently looking for volunteers, and it offers a chance to explore a new approach to managing back pain while potentially improving balance.
