Advance in Respiratory Training for Prevention and Treatment of Nonspecific Low Back Pain (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

Respiratory training can prevent and treat nonspecific low back pain, mainly by activating the deep stabilizing muscles of trunk, establishing appropriate intra-abdominal pressure and optimizing the proprioceptive input of lumbar back, so as to maintain the stability and control of the spine. At present, the commonly used breathing training methods in clinic mainly include diaphragmatic breathing, inspiratory muscle training and abdominal breathing. However, the formulation of respiratory training prescriptions and the comparative study of therapeutic effects among different respiratory training methods still need to be further explored.
