<br/><br/> The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of mirror image exercises on pain level, functional level and 3D posture changes in chronic mechanical low back pain. A randomized controlled study, thirty patients, age ranged from 18-35 selected with CMLBP, and both groups received traditional exercise (strengthen abdominal exercise and stretching back muscle) additionally the study group received mirror image exercise. For study group, the results revealed a statistical significant improvement in pain level, functional level and in 3D thoracolumbar orientation (Rx,Ry,Rz,Tx and Tz) post treatment, for control group while there was a statistical significant improvement in 3D thoracolumbar orientation (Rx,Ry,Rz,Tx and Tz) post treatment, and small a statistical significant decrease in the pain level and functional level compare with the study group. The mirror image exercise is an efficient method to improve the pain; functional level and 3D pasture alignments
