The purpose of this study was to examine the differnce between the propriosensory facilitating method (PFT) versus the Williams method (WT) in the treatment of patients with non-specific low back pain. Twenty patients were selected and divided into two groups at random. The scores on the items "pain" (visual analogue scale), "ecological reactions" (5-point scale) and "comfortable sitting and standing time" (in minutes) were checked to see whether the differences for the measuremnets before and after treatment were statistically significant (p > 0.05: Students t-test). The results of this study demonstrate that the PFT gives sign ificantly better short-term results than WT. A supplementary study will be neccessary to determine the long-term results. The results are discussed.
