Low back pain is a condition that affects the lower back and can extend from the last rib to the gluteal area. This condition is increasing due to several factors, including physiological, psychosocial, and environmental influences, all of which can affect the persistence and intensity of pain. Available data indicate a relationship between sedentary behavior and low back pain. Administrative workers, in particular, are greatly affected due to prolonged static posture and limited rest periods required for desk work. This posture is maintained throughout the workday, making individuals prone to physical discomfort, which over time can lead to muscle imbalances, such as a reduction in the elasticity of certain muscles.
