Background: Spinal mobilization is described in terms of improving mobility in areas of the spine that are restricted [5].Such restriction may be found in joints, connective tissues or muscles. These restrictions can occur due to muscle spasm, reduced joint mobility reduced muscle flexibility etc. By removing the restriction by mobilization the source of pain is reduced and the patient experiences symptomatic relief. Hence Mulligan technique plays vital role to reduce pain and increase range of motion in patients with low back pain which will improve patient’s functional capability. Materials and Methods: A total number of 60 patients with low back pain were selectedDepend on selection criteria. These patients were randomly divided into two groups. Each group having 30 patients. One group was treatedWith Mulligan technique and IFT for 3days a week for 2 week & other group is treated with conventional physiotherapy abdominal strengthening exercise and IFT for 3 days in a week for 2 week. The objectives were tested by using Modified Oswestry Disability Index. The values are collectedbefore and after the treatment. Results: The Post test mean value ofModified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (MODI) in group A is 12.21and in group B is 22.07. This shows thatModified OswestryLow Back Pain Disability Index (MODI) in Group B disability value were comparatively more than Group A disability value, P<0.0001.Statistical Analysis of post test, Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (MODI) revealed that there is high statically significant difference seen between group A and group B.Conclusion: This study shows better improvement in reducing low back pain in Mulligan technique than traditional abdominal strengthening exercise. Both the techniques can be used in clinical practice
