Abstract

Low back pain is the most common health problem which is related to work and performance. It affects the performance and participation in athletes during sporting activity and also in case of working population. The low back pain can be in the form of acute, sub-acute, and chronic pain. The success of rehabilitation in these cases depends upon the symptoms, functional problems which can be due to the anatomical or biomechanical cause. One of the most recent treatments in the management of low back pain is the core stability exercises. This form of exercises improves the spinal stability and functions which eliminates the pain. The core stability is aimed on muscles like transverse abdominis, multifidus, diaphragm and pelvic floor muscles. Recent exploration of core stability exercise on post laminectomy and discectomy shows improvement in functional activity by improving the strength in muscles. Addition to that nerve gliding exercises improves the flexibility and reduces adhesion formation at post-surgical site which is most important to reduce the pain and prevention of recurrence in low back pain.
