Abstract


Introduction: Low back pain is a widespread and displeased pain that disables the patient to do his daily affairs and may lead to his hospitalization.
So, it can create physical and mental problems and too much medical expenditure in itself. One of the most important suggested exercises are static
stretching exercises that has proven effectiveness on improvement of low back pain. The goal of this study was to review the results obtained in
previous studies on static stretching in low back pain. Objective: to nd the effectiveness of static stretching exercises in non-specic chronic low
back pain. Material And Methods: An electronic database search, title and abstract search was conducted between 2010 to at present using Google
Scholar, PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and Cochrane database. The study was double checked and the review used only
full-text papers. A total of 15 studies were chosen to investigate the effectiveness of static stretching exercises in non- specic chronic low back
pain. Result: According to a data search from 2010 to at present roughly fteen free full articles suggest that static stretching exercises are
benecial in improving pain, ROM and exibility in non- specic chronic low back pain. Conclusion: According to the ndings of this review
study, static stretching exercises are safe and feasible and has been found to improve pain, ROM, exibility, muscle strengthening in non- specic
chronic low back pain. From a practical point of view, stretching exercises are an affordable and easily workable method with a good therapeutic
effect in pain in the musculoskeletal system of a functional nature. Muscle spasm and muscle imbalance are positively inuenced by the
administration of stretching exercises.
