Back Stabilization The lumbar stabilization program is a program of back exercises designed to teach patients strengthening and flexibility in a pain-free range. It improves the patient's physical condition and symptoms. It provides the patient with movement awareness, knowledge of safe postures, and functional strength and coordination that promotes management of Low Back Pain. Prior to starting a lumbar stabilization program, the patient should first be evaluated by his/her primary care physician. Since every patient is an individual and presents with different conditions, a physical therapist is needed to design and monitor the rehabilitation program.
