ABSTRACT
Back pain is one of the most common ailments that have plagued mankind since time immemorial. The frequency of spinal diseases is second only to seasonal viral upper respiratory infections. The period of the Covid 19 pandemic has expanded mandatory work from home - home office, limiting the mobility of the population and thereby increasing back pain due to muscle imbalance in the back area. Muscle imbalance can originate from incorrect, one-sided or long-term loading of the axial organ - the spine. If one adds to this the forcing of the position of the head and upper limbs, which is part of the work with the imaging unit, then it is not surprising that the prevalence of non-specific back pain is high and shifts to the lower age groups. Physiotherapy has a large number of special methods and procedures that can prevent back pain with regular exercises. It was during the Covid 19 pandemic that there was a massive increase in the use of distance methods aimed at practicing physical activity for back pain in the sense of pain therapy or its prevention. The paper describes meridian pathwas and exercises aimed at their harmonization and presents the partial results of the authors'pilot study, which determines the effect of exercises aimed at harmonizing meridian pathways on the perception of pain in non-specific back pain in a distance form.Copyright © 2022 TIGIS Spol. s.r.o..
