      <hc_freetext>Ergonomic related Low back pain.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: 15  participants in group A were treated by kinesio taping plus conventional physical therapy. Conventional physical therapy includes dry heat and lumbar stabilization exercises as a baseline treatment. All the participants in group  A were taped by physicians. It was lasted for 4 days before it was replaced. Taping was applied 3 times (baseline 4th , 8th days). Patients were instructed to keep the tape on between taping sessions. This procedure consisting  a total period of 12 days. Intervention 2: Group B consisting of 15 participants were treated with muscle energy technique plus conventional physical therapy. Conventional physical therapy includes dry heat and lumbar stabilization exercises as a baseline treatment.  Muscle energy technique was applied  in the form of PIR on psoas group, hamstring, tensor fascia Lata, piriformis, quadratus lumborum and erector spinae muscles by holding 7-10s with 4 repetitions. The treatment of this group went for one month under 3 training / week. The readings for different outcome variables measured on 2nd and 4th week respectively.</i_freetext>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>The first outcome goal was Pain checked using the visual analog scale, an effective and accurate tool for measuring pain in patients with low back pain. The VAS is a 10-centimeter scale, with 0 showing no pain and 10 means severe pain. Timepoint: Total 3 readings were taken during the whole treatment. First was taken before treatment as a baseline reading. Then second reading was taken by post 2 week. Same as third reading was noted after 4th week. Method of measurement: By using Visual Analogue Scale.</prim_outcome>

    <secondary_outcome>
      <sec_outcome>Mobility and kinesophobia. Timepoint: First reading was taken before treatment as a baseline reading. Then second reading was taken by post 2 week. Same as third reading was noted after 4th week. Total 3 readings were taken during the whole treatment. Method of measurement: Mobility by schober test , Kinesophobia by TAMPA scale.</sec_outcome>
