Neuromuscular exercise reduces low back pain intensity and improves physical functioning in nursing duties among female healthcare workers secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial

Low back pain (LBP) is common among healthcare workers, whose work is physically strenuous and thus demands certain levels of physical fitness and spinal control. Exercise is the most frequently recommended treatment for LBP. However, exercise interventions targeted at sub-acute or recurrent patients are scarce compared to those targeted at chronic LBP patients.
