Evidence shows that active treatment in form of strengthening exercise of the abdominal and back muscles, core stabilization exercise, coordination exercise and aerobic exercise leads to significant reduction in pain and functional disability in patients with CLBP. A number of researches have been focusing on core stability exercise, which is an effective way of recruiting the core muscle (including the abdominal, back, pelvic and hip muscles) that leads to the optimal force production, control of lumbopelvic-hip movement and load transfer from the spine to the pelvis and the lower extremities.
