Exercise programs and physical therapies have been proposed to minimize or reverse current deficits related to low back pain. Here the influence of Isostretching method on the low back pain was evaluated. Ten women with low back pain (GE, experimental group) and ten women without low back pain (GC, control group) were evaluated. GE was submitted to 10 sessions of Isostretching; GC remains sedentary. For pre and post- training period, the intensity of pain was evaluated throughout a subjective analogical visual scale (EVA), muscle strength evaluated by goniometry, degree of shortening in anterior and posterior muscle chains evaluated employing functional clinical testes, and body balance was evaluated with a force plate. The results showed decrease in the low back pain for all subjects, significantly improvement of muscle strength, lengthening of muscle chains, and improved postural control. It was concluded that the program applied was effective providing a healthy life and without pain the subjects.
