Brief summary: The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vibratory massage therapy on individuals with non-specific low back pain.

Detailed description: This study will be conducted using a randomized controlled design. Volunteers between the ages of 18-65 with non-specific low back pain will be included in the study. Inclusion criteria are that participants do not have structural pathologies and agree to participate in the study voluntarily. Exclusion criteria include spinal deformities and exercise intolerance. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. Individuals in the first group will receive vibratory massage therapy, while the second group will be evaluated with standard treatment methods as a control. Both groups will receive treatment 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Participants' quality of life, pain levels, range of motion, and muscle activity will be evaluated before and after treatment. Data will be collected using tools such as SF-36, Oswestry Low Back Pain Index, and VAS (Visual Analog Scale).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Having back pain for the last 3 months VAS \>4
* Between 18-65 years of age.
* Volunteers for the study.
* Not having undergone surgical intervention in the last 6 months
* Individuals with structural amoli (e.g. spinal deformity).
* Having chronic bone disease

Exclusion Criteria:

* Not being able to cooperate
* Presence of psychological problems
* Use of sleeping pills,
* Presence of neurological and orthopedic diseases.
