The goal of this randomized experimental study is to learn if regular deep squat or cross-legged sitting practice can improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance visceral functions in adults with chronic low back pain (LBP). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does practicing deep squat or cross-legged sitting increase joint mobility (hip, spine, ankle) and flexibility? Does it reduce pain levels in the lumbar spine and hip region? Does it improve visceral functions related to digestion and bowel movements? Researchers will compare a deep squat group, a cross-legged sitting group, and a control group to see if these interventions lead to significant improvements in mobility, pain reduction, and visceral function compared to no intervention. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of three groups (deep squat, cross-legged sitting, or control). Practice their assigned position for 20 minutes per day, 6 days a week, for 6 weeks. Undergo baseline and post-intervention assessments, including mobility tests, pain evaluation, and quality-of-life questionnaires.
