Exercises on a balance cushion to influence lumbar vertebral syndrome

Background: The pain in the lumbar region is common. One of the causes of
low back pain is lumbar vertebral syndrome. There is a wide range of
options for treating low back pain. The purpose of the study is to
describe exercises on a balance cushion to influence the pain in lumbar
vertebral syndrome and to track the effect of their application. Methods:
We studied 20 participants with low back pain. We applied the following
tests to the patients: visual analogue scale, Schober test, measurements
of lateral flexion and Straight leg raise test. The methodology includes
exercises on a balance cushion. We performed manual manipulation
techniques on each patient by treating trigger poitns in the lower back
and buttocks once a week. Results: We achieved  an improvement in
the studied indicators after the applied therapy, which was expressed in a
reduction of pain and restoration of normal mobility in the lumbar region.
Conclusions: The application of exercises on a balance cushion allows in a
short time to affect the pain and mobility in the lumbar spine to fully
perform their work and professional activities.
