This study evaluates the effectiveness of a specific manual therapy approach based on the Algo-K decision algorithm in patients with subacute low back pain radiating to the lower limb. Algo-K helps select the most suitable lumbar mobilization technique according to the patient's pain response. The experimental group will receive a five-minute targeted manual therapy in addition to standard physiotherapy, while the control group will receive a non-specific mobilization. The study aims to determine whether this algorithm-guided intervention leads to faster and greater improvement in pain and disability.
