Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability, often requiring primary care management. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of isometric versus isotonic exercise programs for LBP. Methods: Sixty adults with LBP were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A (n=30) performed isometric exercises, infrared therapy, and TENS. Group B (n=30) performed isotonic exercises with the same adjunct therapies. Pain (VAS), disability (MODI), and abdominal endurance were measured pre- and post-intervention. Keywords: Exercise therapy; low back pain; disability evaluation
