<abstract><p>Low back pain is one of the main causes of disability worldwide and in recent decades there has been an increase in its incidence, especially in individuals from middle and low-income countries. Back pain is the most common symptom and may be related to body overload in high-impact occupations, inadequate posture, repetitive execution and/or weight loading on the axial skeleton. This is a qualitative-quantitative clinical research study, using the following databases: Scielo, Pubmed and Lilacs, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. It is estimated that 70 to 85% of the population will experience back pain throughout their lives. The most affected area is the lumbar spine, followed by the thoracic and cervical regions. Some studies have linked pain in the cervical region in young people to dependence on cell phone use, due to the poor position of the neck when using the device. This is why exercises that focus on the so-called &quot;core&quot;, the muscles of the &quot;lumbar-pelvis-abdominal-perineal-hip&quot; complex, have shown promising results in improving pain.
