Abstract

Low back pain currently affects a large number of people worldwide. various causes can be associated with pain, from postural deviations to degenerative diseases in the spine, as well as obesity, physical inactivity and ergonomic nonsense in the workplace. The aforementioned muscle imbalance takes into account both muscle tension on structures that can trigger pain as well as the frankness of stabilizing muscles that can help prevent low back pain. The transversus is a stabilizing muscle of the abdominal region, which in turn, when weak, can cause low back pain in certain individuals. The objective of this work was to identify the importance and influence of the transverse muscle of the abdomen as well as the strengthening in the prevention of low back pain. Through bibliographic review and search in research sources it was found that a well-strengthened transversal provides the core region with stability and resistance to movements and daily actions preventing low back pain and also helping in the maintenance of people who already have the condition.
