AbstractLow back pain is defined as pain located between the lower rib cage and the gluteal folds, and its etiology is multifactorial, considerably affecting quality of life. The aim of this literature review was to analyze the influence of the Pilates method on the symptoms of patients with nonspecific low back pain, which is considered a promising treatment for this type of pathology. A narrative review of the literature was carried out using the PubMed, Pedro, Scopus and Scielo databases. To perform the search, Pilates AND Low back nonspecific AND Pain were used as keywords. Articles published in the last 5 years, randomized clinical trials that verified the influence of the Pilates method in adult individuals with unspecified low back pain and full text in English were included. Of the 77 articles identified, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria, 7 analyzed the primary outcomes of pain intensity and disability, 5 articles compared Pilates with other rehabilitation techniques and 2 studies compared the effectiveness of Pilates solo with Pilates apparatus. It was concluded that all the techniques that were compared with Pilates are effective, being difficult to affirm the superiority of Pilates over them in relation to the reduction of pain and disability and improvement of quality of life. However, the Pilates method has shown good results in pain perception and intensity, functional capacity, fear of movement and the idea that movement can worsen your condition, muscle strength, range of motion and flexibility.

AbstractLow back pain in pregnancy is a common complaint. Psychologically, it has a negative effect on the patient, adversely affecting the quality of life.Presenting either as pelvic girdle or as lumbar pain, accurate and early diagnosis is essential for adequate management of patients with low back pain in pregnancy. The mainstay of management is conservative. There is no established protocol and the treatment has to be tailored for each patient.

A gestação compreende um período de várias mudanças anatômicas e fisiológicas no corpo da gestante. Um problema de grande relevância nessa fase é a lombalgia gestacional, que acarreta dor na região lombar e compromete a qualidade de vida da mulher grávida. O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar, através de revisão de literatura, os efeitos da hidroterapia, reeducação postural global (RPG) e Pilates no tratamento da dor lombar durante a gestação. Foram incluídos estudos clínicos de gestantes que estavam no segundo ou terceiro trimestre de gestação, cuja dor lombar surgiu na gestação e não havia associação com dor pélvica, publicados nas bases de dados SciELO, LILACS e Google Acadêmico, disponíveis na íntegra e online, entre os anos de 2010 a 2020. Foram excluídos artigos de revisão de literatura, monografias, que falavam sobre lombalgia decorrente de outras causas e que utilizavam esses tratamentos em homens ou mulheres não gestantes. Foram selecionados 6 artigos, 3 de hidroterapia, 2 de RPG e 1 de Pilates. Verificou-se que os três métodos causaram redução na intensidade da dor lombar gestacional. Além disso, a hidroterapia diminuiu a tensão nos músculos dorsais, aumentou a flexibilidade dos músculos estabilizadores da coluna e melhorou a qualidade de vida das gestantes; e a RPG ocasionou diminuição da limitação funcional e melhora da qualidade de vida. Concluiu-se, a partir desta revisão de literatura, que a hidroterapia, RPG e Pilates proporcionaram melhora significativa da dor lombar durante a gestação, havendo diminuição na intensidade da dor.   Palavras-chave: Gravidez.

A problem of great relevance in this phase is gestational low back pain, which causes pain in the lower back and compromises the quality of life of pregnant women. The objective of the study was to verify, through literature review, the effects of hydrotherapy, global posture reeducation (GPR) and Pilates in the treatment of low back pain during pregnancy. Clinical studies of pregnant women who were in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, whose low back pain appeared during pregnancy and there was no association with pelvic pain, published in the SciELO, LILACS and Google Scholar databases, available in full and online, between 2010 to 2020 were included. The literature review articles and monographs, that were about low back pain due to other reasons and that used these treatments in men or non-pregnant women were excluded. Six articles were selected, three of hydrotherapy, two of GPR and one of Pilates. It was found that the three methods caused reduction in the intensity of gestational lumbar pain. In addition, hydrotherapy decreased the tension in dorsal muscles, increased the flexibility of spine stabilizing muscles and improved the quality of life of pregnant women; and GPR caused decrease in functional limitation and improved quality of life. It was concluded, from this literature review, that hydrotherapy, GPR and Pilates provided significant improvement in low back pain during pregnancy, with a decrease in pain intensity.   Keywords: Pregnancy.

Introduction: Back pain is all pain conditions, located in the lower back, between the last rib and the gluteal fold. The main goal of Pilates is to strengthen the center of the body, improving spinal stabilization. Objective: This study aimed at examining the effects of Pilates on low back pain, checking their effect on low back pain, using a visual analog pain scale, assess the quality of life through the Quality of Life Questionnaire - WHOQOL Bref and measure flexibility by Test FINGER-FLOOR. Method: This study was submitted to the CEP of a private college in Teresina, PI (no. 18441813.0.0000.5211). The sample was not random type, consisting of six participants with low back pain box. They were assessed before and after treatment by means of an evaluation form (age, weight, height, BMI, visual analog pain scale - EVA Test and finger-floor) and the Quality of Life Questionnaire - WHOQOL Bref . 10 individual sessions were conducted with the Pilates method, often two weekly visits lasting one hour each. Data were analyzed using parametric test "t" test, with significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Results: The results showed that treatment significantly reduced pain, with p = 0, 0048 Regarding quality of life, we can observe significant improvements in the Physical Domain with p = 0.0288, and p = Psychological Domain. 0.0477. Already in Social Domains, Domain Environment and overall quality of life, the results were not significant with p = 0.2894, p = 0.6357 and p = 0.0830, respectively. Flexibility in the analysis of observed significant improvement, with p = 0.0039. Conclusion: Therefore, the Pilates Method can be an effective treatment option in the treatment of lumbago, acting globally.

Introduction: Low back pain, due to the high prevalence, is the main reason for sickness and pensions in Brazil causing a major burden for the state and the reduction of the individual's quality of life. The treatment may be conservative (drug and therapy) or surgery, but often such treatments are not definitive and culminating in reincidivas. Among the physiotherapy intervention techniques, Mckenzie method stands out because it is an individualized intervention technique that emphasizes patient education through exercises to restore normal function, where the patient learns to avoid during treatment movements, postures and activities that worsen your condition. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Mckenzie method on the treatment of lumbar. Materials and Methods: We performed a literature search of articles published between 2005 to 2015, in Portuguese, English and French, using the key words: low back pain, quality of life and physical therapy in Scienciedirect databases, Peter, Pubmed, LILACS and scielo. Results and conclusion: The articles were initially screened for the content of the titles and abstracts and confronted the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subsequently, the selected articles were analyzed in all content and data were organized into figures and framework to present the main findings of the research. Publications on the theme revealed the importance of McKenzie in the reduction of pain symptoms and disability in low back pain, contributing to the patient's return in their activities of daily living.
