Effects on the Exercise Response
In and of itself LBP doesn’t have an effect on the
exercise response
Exercise positions can exacerbate pain The client’s beliefs can effect their ability.
May cause clients to not try to do their best out of fear Clients may also feel insecure and fearful of who might be
watching.

Beliefs continued:
Minor inconvenience, ignore it Stop daily activities and see a doctor Avoid activities that cause pain or expect will cause pain
Acute LBP:
Less than 3 months in duration Modify activity temporarily Should be back to normal exercise in 1 – 2 days
Chronic LBP:
More than 3 months in duration Address misconceptions and fears about exercise Motivate to resume activity Exercise and activity strongly recommended
SLIDE 7
Individuals with LBP should be able to
perform all Exercise Tests recommended by ACSM
May be limited by actual or anticipated
increase in pain
Preferred mode of testing is the treadmill
SLIDE 8
Aerobic exercise is an important part of therapy for LBP
Exercise is Significantly effective for LBP
Strong evidence shows there is not one specific regimen that is superior
Guidelines for LBP are similar to the ACSM guidelines for apparently healthy individuals
Goals:
Improve health and well-being, exercise tolerance, prevent debilitation caused by inactivity
Intensity and duration should be; graded, gradual in progression and time rather than pain contingent
Should consider client preference
Stretching should also be prescribed for those who show to have tightness in hips and legs.

unknown
