The study will be a Randomized clinical trial to check the effects of a core muscle activation exercise training program on pain, range of motion, and function in patients with chronic low back pain so that we can devise a treatment protocol for patients with chronic low back pain. The study duration was 10 months, convenient sampling technique was used subject following eligibility criteria from the Orthopaedic medical center, Lahore. were randomly allocated in two groups via lottery method, a baseline assessment was done, and Group A received Mobilization and Electrotherapy Modalities including Ultrasound, TENS, and Core muscles activation exercises. Group B received Mobilization and Electrotherapy Modalities including Ultrasound and TENS for a total training program duration of 12 weeks with 3 sessions per week. Outcome measures were NPRS for assessment of pain, Modified Oswestry Disability index for functional disability, PBU for assessment and training of core stability, and baseline bubble inclinometer and were assessed and documented at 0 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks of the treatment session
