Abstract

Objective: The objective of the present research is to identify the different interventions, based on the manual approach or exercises directed on the diaphragm muscle, as well as their effectiveness, in patients with non-specific low back pain. Methodology: This study is a literature review. The review was based on articles indexed in the Scielo, PubMed and PEDro databases, in which the keywords were used: Low back pain; Exercise; Manual therapy; Diaphragm; Dor and their respective ones in English: Low back pain; Exercise; Manual Therapy; Diaphragm; Pain As inclusion criteria, only randomized controlled trials were defined, in English or Portuguese, with samples consisting of adults, with chronic low back pain and who had exercise or manual therapy as one of the interventions. Results: After the initial bibliographic survey, 12 articles were found in total. After analysis, 05 randomized articles were included in the study sample. Conclusion: The main interventions such as manual therapy, physical exercise and respiratory training increased respiratory and ventilatory capacity, reduced pain, increased lumbar mobility, stability and improved patients' quality of life.
