Aim & Objective: Is to evaluate the effectiveness of core muscles strengthening exercises on lumbar flexion and extension range of motion in post-menopausal women after 4 weeks using modified Schober's test. Method: Women with non specific low back pain of age group between 45-55 years, having BMI between 18.5 (normal)- 29.9(overweight) were included. Subjects having range less than 3 cm on modified schober's test were selected. The pre and post Schober's test values were considered after 4 weeks of intervention. Results and conclusion: Core muscles strengthening exercises showed significant change in improving lumbar flexion and extension range of motion in post menopausal women.
