Why is it important?

It found that lumbar mobilization can decrease the pain, the back muscles electrical activities and in addition improve the functional abilities of the subjects. so I recommend it to all postpartum females who are complaining from low back pain.

Perspectives

from my own perspective, I recommend that clinicians who deals with women's health issues to add the lumbar mobilization in the treatment plan for postpartum LBP cases because it is one of the few research that dealt with such cases.
