The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between low back pain (LBP) and factors such as education level and years of work in 131 women aged 42±1.10 years, participating in the "Sports for All" municipal physical activity (PA) programs in Greece. To evaluate how PA affects the intensity of pain, the questionnaires “Grading the Severity of Chronic Pain-GSCP” and the “A Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire-FABQ” were used. Analysis of Variation and the Tuckey post hoc tests calculated the difference among the questions of each of the questionnaires. Statistically significant differences were determined for three questions. Female participants with a medium or low level of education show less or no improvement in LBP. Concerning years of work, participants with fewer years of work suffer from higher LBP levels than the ones already working for longer time. Future studies of the relationship between specific PA programs, the content and nature of one’s job and the appearance of LBP are needed.

Posture is commonly perceived as the relationship between the segments of the human body upright. Certain parts of the body such as the cephalic extremity, neck, torso, upper and lower limbs are involved in the final posture of the body. Musculoskeletal instabilities and reduced postural control lead to the installation of nonstructural posture deviations in all 3 anatomical planes. When we talk about the sagittal plane, it was concluded that there are 4 main types of posture deviation: hyperlordotic posture, kyphotic posture, rectitude and "sway-back" posture.Pilates method has become in the last decade a much more popular formof exercise used in rehabilitation. The Pilates method is frequently prescribed to people with low back pain due to their orientation on the stabilizing muscles of the pelvis. Pilates exercise is thus theorized to help reactivate the muscles and, by doingso, increases lumbar support, reduces pain, and improves body alignment.
