Understanding Mechanical Low Back Pain: A Physiotherapeutic Perspective | Chapter 3 | Medical Science: Recent Advances and Applications Vol. 8

Mechanical Low Back Pain (MLBP) represents a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder that significantly affects individual well-being and workforce productivity. This chapter provides an in-depth examination of the anatomical and biomechanical contributors to MLBP and presents a structured, physiotherapy-centred framework for its evaluation and management. Emphasis is placed on multimodal treatment strategies—including manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercise programs, pain management modalities, and ergonomic training. The chapter also explores the importance of functional rehabilitation and patient education in promoting long-term recovery and preventing recurrence. Through a holistic and evidence-informed approach, physiotherapists can effectively restore mobility, reduce pain, and empower patients to maintain spinal health and active lifestyles.
