Stabilization Exercises Help Reduce Pain

Core stabilization has long been recommended to aid in the management of low back pain. A recent study set out to examine the effects of lumbopelvic stabilization training on pain threshold and pain intensity in comparison to passive automated cycling and a control intervention among a sample of 25 patients suffering from chronic nonspecific low back pain. The findings revealed that the patients reported significant improvements in their pain threshold and pain intensity following stabilization training that they did not experience with the other interventions.
