Non-specific low back pain is a condition causes pain in the lower back that cannot be found in a specific disorder included mechanical pain, joint pain, postural pain, muscle strain, ligament sprain and muscle spasm. This study aims to determine the effect of myofascial release technique toward changes in pain level in non-specific low back pain patients. The study was used quasi-experimental design using time-series experimental design. The study population were all non-specific low back pain patients seeking treatment at Physiotherapy Poli of Bontang Hospital. The samples were 20 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The data was analysed using Wilcoxon test with SPSS program. The result showed that highest number of non-specific low back pain patients were aged ≥45 years old. The study also showed changes in pain level on post-test 1 and post-test2 was high than pre-test. The pain level before and after given Myofascial Release Technique showed significant changes with pre-post 1 and pre-test 2 = 0.000 with 95% confidence level. Based on Wilcoxon test with pre-post 1 and pre-post 2=0.000<0.05 had shown there was an effect of Myofascial Release Technique on changes in the pain level with nonspecific low back pain.
