Aim and Objective: To analyze the result of thoracolumbar fascia activation with McKenzie exercises, to analyze the effect of only McKenzie exercises in patients with low back pain and to compare the effectiveness of thoracolumbar fascia activation with McKenzie exercises v/s only McKenzie exercises for those who suffer from backache. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 participants individuals aged 18 to 50 years were taken in this study having symptoms of chronic low back pain with inclusion criteria 1. Age – 18- 50 years, 2.

Participants taken in the study were convenient sampling in to two different group, designated as group-A and group-B Result and conclusion: The distribution of outcome overall ‘t’ value for the level of thirst between Group A & Group B was 0.917 which was highly significant at p<0.001 Group A’s mean was 0.60 whereas in group B was 0.80 and their mean difference was 0.200 which had greater improvement than other parameters. It is concluded that thoracolumbar fascia activation with McKenzie exercises was highly effective in reducing pain among patients with low back pain.
