| Summary: | Low back pain is one of the most common musculosceletal disorder and it has multifactorial
etiology. It is considered to be the leading cause of global disability. It is the most frequent
cause of activity limitation that can, eventually, result in disability, decreased quality of life,
and work absenteeism. Low back pain manifests in different forms - acute, subacute and
chronic. Within clinical examination it is a collected anamnesis, a general examination and
functional testing from each patient. The importance of physical activity in the treatment of
low back pain is generally accepted. However, an increase in physical activity has been
suggested to be both a preventive factor and a possible risk factor for low back pain. There
is an evidence for an association between high physical workloads and back injury.
Treatment of low back pain includes many different types of exercises and physical
therapy. Fascial manipulations has showed a great effectiveness in the treatment of low
back pain in the general population, but also among the athletes.
