Participants will be assigned to two groups: one will receive core stabilization exercises with connective tissue massage, while the other will receive only core stabilization exercises. Pain will be evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale, functionality will be assessed with the Oswestry Disability Index, and endurance will be measured with static and dynamic curl-up, static back endurance, and side bridge tests. Quality of life will be assessed with the SF-36, and instrumental daily living activities will be evaluated with the Lawton \\& Brody Scale. The results will demonstrate whether adding connective tissue massage to core stabilization exercises will provide additional benefits in pain reduction, functional improvement, endurance, and quality of life compared to exercises alone.",[73],"Mechanical Low Back Pain",[75,76,77],"mechanical low back pain","connective tissue massage","core stabilization exercise","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-09-18",{"date":81,"type":82},"2025-09-25","ACTUAL",{"date":84,"type":67},"2025-10-01",{"date":86,"type":67},"2025-12",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
