Group 1 (n=15) were given Goodmornings with barbell exercise for 30 minutes and Group 2 (n=15) were given with conventional strengthening exercise for 30 minutes. The subjects were assessed pre and post to the treatment by Oswestry low back disability questionnaires and Visual Analogue Scale.

Results: On comparing the Mean values of Group A & Group B on VAS Score, it shows significant decrease in the post test Mean values but (Group B – Strengthening) shows (2.53) which has the Lower Mean value is effective than (Group A – Barbell) (3.00) at P ≤ 0.05. Hence Null Hypothesis is rejected. On comparing the Mean values of Group A & Group B on Oswestry Disability Index(OSDI), it shows significant decrease in the post test Mean values but (Group B –  Strengthening) shows (16.86) which has the Lower Mean value is effective than (Group A – Barbell) (19.60) at P ≤ 0.05.
