Summary:
In the present literature, the aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of lumbar spine stabilization exercises and other methods in the prevention and rehabilitation of various back pain syndromes. For the collection of the appropriate scientific articles, a search was made in the PubMed databases, embase medical database, med line plus, Cochrane library, American Megatrends, Inc. (AMI), CINAHL Database, CINAHL Plus and Scopus-solutions / Elsevier from the year 2005 until the end of January 2022. Google Scholar was also used to auxiliary search related
searches. The study of the respective researches came to the conclusion that the exercises for
stabilization of the lumbar spine are not only very effective but also superior to the othe r
methods exercises in the prevention and rehabilitation of back pain syndromes. When these are
combined with some of the other methods then their effectiveness increases. Some of the other
methods provided small and short term results. Exercises such as Yoga and Pilates also have
satisfactory but short term results. The McKenzie method can provide similar results in
rehabilitation . Based on the above, it is recommended to the general population to start and
implement exercises to stabilize the lumbar spin e in order to prevent the occurrence of various
back pain syndromes. If this is not possible, then it is recommended to start either a general
exercise program, or exercise through the method of Yoga, or through the method of Pilates.
Finally, for those wh o suffer from chronic pain in the lumbar spine, it is recommended to start
the exercises of stabilization of the lumbar spine with the aim of the final rehabilitation. Of
course we must point out that stabilization exercises must be accompanied by a progra m of
mobility exercises for the spine.
