title: [Low back pain and back exercise].
abstract: In the last decennium, information regarding the efficacy of back exercises in the treatment of back pain has increased. It has been shown that exercise programs in acute back pain prevents chronicity, and that back exercises in chronic patients decreases back pain and disability. It is primarily the high intensity and duration of the exercise program which is the most important for a successful result rather than the design of the exercises.
