Abstract

Another recent review included studies on prevention of back pain not only at the workplace but also in any other settings. The review found strong, consistent evidence to guide prevention of LBP episodes in working-age adults. The authors concluded that there is strong, consistent evidence that exercises are effective, while other interventions are not, including stress management, shoe inserts, back supports, ergonomic/back education and reduced lifting programs (Bigos SJ. et al., 2009). The studies included instructions for back extensor training followed by regular training sessions for 1 -12 months, training of trunk flexors, general aerobic exercise and aquatic exercises.
