Alexander Technique for Preventing and Improving Low Back Pain

Low Back Pain (LBP) is the first cause of disability in people under ۴۵ years old and the second cause of referral to physician, and the third cause of surgery (Noori et al., ۲۰۱۱). In developed countries, the overall cost resulted from LBP is ۱.۷% of gross national product total share (Karimi, ۲۰۰۴). In general, the prevalence rate of LBP is ۳۰%, but over ۷۰-۸۵% of people in advanced countries experience it at least once in their life (Nezhad Roomezi et al., ۲۰۱۲). In Iran, this problem is the third cause of disability in people aged ranging from ۱۵ to ۶۹ years. Since Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) is a multifactorial phenomenon, several suggestions are proposed for its treatment (Nezhad Roomezi et al., ۲۰۱۲). In this study, it was decided to introduce a less-known but effective technique in the treatment of CLBP.
