Brief summary: Pretending with the use of accelerometers and pressure platform, determine indicators that are useful to therapists to assess postural control and balance, to subsequently allow to evaluate the effect of therapeutic interventions through therapeutic exercise of motor control in patients with chronic low back pain .

Detailed description: The records are made simultaneously with the different evaluation equipment, accelerometer and pressure platform. The tests are performed in a control group of healthy subjects, and in an experimental group with DLC receiving a program of therapeutic exercise based and pain education based on neuroscience.

After the collection of the records, the behavior patterns in both groups are evaluated, the possible differences among them are established for the clinimetric indicators analyzed related to the postural control, as well as a characteristic of the sample.

Subsequently, through the evaluation after the intervention of the experimental group we will analyze the effect of a physiotherapy treatment based on the therapeutic exercise of motor control on parameters related to postural control and clinical variables (perceived pain, mechanosensitivity, disability and proprioceptive repositioning of the lumbar spine )

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* low back pain with painful perception on a daily or almost daily basis for more than three months of clinical course, with or without pain radiating to the lower extremities above the knee.
* not having metal implants in the spine
* own ability to read and write
* and access the study voluntarily.

Exclusion Criteria:

* vestibular disorders
* without severe visual impairment
* no medication intake with a potential effect on balance during the 90 days prior to data collection
* physiotherapy treatment 2 weeks before the study
