Feldenkrais Method for balance and back pain relief
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if the Feldenkrais Method, a gentle movement therapy, can improve balance and reduce pain in people with long-term mechanical back pain. It may be a good option if you've had back pain for at least 6 months and it doesn't shoot past your knee.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mechanical back pain (pain related to how your spine moves, not from a specific injury or disease).
- Your back pain has lasted for at least the last 6 months.
- The pain does not go past your knee (no leg pain extending to the foot).
- Your pain is mild to moderate (0-7 on a 0-10 pain scale) and your disability from the pain is mild to moderate.
- You have not had any spine surgeries, chronic diseases, or recent accidents or fractures.

This study tests whether adding connective tissue massage to a core exercise program helps people with mechanical low back pain feel better and move easier. You would attend supervised sessions twice a week for 8 weeks and do daily exercises at home.
This study tests whether special balance exercises (sensory-motor training) can help improve stability in women after menopause who have long-lasting low back pain. The goal is to see if this type of training reduces pain and improves balance.
This study compares two gentle exercise programs (Feldenkrais and Otago) to see which one helps people with chronic low back pain and balance problems feel better and move more easily. It focuses on adults who have had pain for at least 3 months and have some trouble with balance.
This trial compares two types of exercise programs to see which one improves your sense of body position and walking pattern. It may help if you have long-lasting low back pain that gets worse with movement.
This study tests whether doing core (stability) exercises along with simple cognitive (thinking) tasks can reduce long-lasting low back pain. It may help if your pain has lasted at least 3 months and you can safely take part in exercise.
This trial tests a stabilization training program using biofeedback (a device that shows you how your muscles are working) to treat chronic low back pain. It may help you strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce your pain.
