Summary

The study was conducted to the following purposes 1. To investigate the effect of lumbar mobilization on muscle activity in postpartum mechanical low back pain. 2. To investigate the effect of lumbar mobilization on pain intensity in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients. 3. To investigate the effect lumbar mobilization on functional disability in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients. 4. To compare between the effects of lumbar mobilization, tactile stimulation (placebo treatment) and traditional treatment in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients.
