Background and objectives: Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) refers to pain between the lower ribs and buttocks without a specific underlying cause. It may present as dull or sharp pain, sometimes radiating to the buttocks or thighs, and can limit movement. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Muscle Energy Technique and core stabilization exercises in reducing pain and improving range of motion in individuals with NSLBP.

Materials and method: A total number of 61 subjects, 60 of them met selection criteria for the study and were divided into 2 groups, 30 members in Group A (Muscle energy technique), 30 members in group B (Core stabilization exercises). Both groups performed intervention for 6 weeks. Both groups were also given conventional physiotherapy program for 6 weeks the outcomes of pain, range of motion using VAS and Modified Schober Method.

Result: To test the statistical significance between pre and post test scores paired T test was used. To test the significance of the mean difference of two groups, unpaired t- test was done. It is statistically shown that there is some significant impact on the parameters of pain and range of motion on lumbar spine. The results showed that, Group-A had more significant improvement in all parameters than Group-B.
