This may be due to changing work environment, including the nature of long sitting work hours. Postural training helps develop strength, flexibility, and balance in the body, while core strengthening exercises improve balance, stability, and core muscle function. Interferential therapy, widely used for pain relief, muscle stimulation, increasing local blood flow, and reducing edema, has been extensively studied and proven effective in relieving pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Materials:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This quasi-experimental study with a pre-and post-comparative design was conducted in the Faculty Physiotherapy Outpatient Department with 60 randomly selected women aged 35-50 years, clinically diagnosed with low back pain. The intervention lasted 12 weeks and excluded males below 35, recent low back fractures, hernia, and VAS scores below 4. Pre-tests using the VAS and QBPDS scales were conducted, followed by 4 days of interferential therapy (IFT) and 30 minutes\/day of postural and core strengthening exercises with IFT for 12 weeks. Post-tests using the same scales were performed, and statistical analysis was conducted on the collected data to assess the intervention\u2019s effectiveness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Result:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      On comparing Pre test and Post test within Group A and Group B on Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score and QBPDS score shows significant difference in the mean values at\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2264 0.05.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present study concluded that postural training exercise is more effective than conventional exercise.
