LOW BACK PAIN: KINESIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN PRESCRIPTION OF THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE IN PREVENTION AND REHABILITATION
Keywords:
Therapeutic Exercise, Prevention and Rehabilitation
Abstract
The author examines some of the exercises and activities from Kinesiological point of view that are most commonly used for improving low back fitness, or rehabilitating low back pain. Importance of abdominal muscle-strength and their proper exercises, errors in exercises imparted to improve trunk-flexibility, jogging posture, pressure on lumbar discs in different positions, and certain often overlooked therapeutic exercises in low back programme are highlighted. There is a need for the coaches, physical educators, and therapists to consider these aspects while suggesting exercises and activities to the athletes who are susceptible to develop low back pain, or are already suffering from it.
