Summary:Aim: The research had the purpose to improve the classical aproach through the physical therapy means, by introducing two of the neuro-proprioceptive techniques in the rehabilitation program of the low back pain and had as main objective the pain decreasing in intensity by creating a relationship between relaxing certain muscles and realieved symptomps. Methods: The study was conducted at the Techirghiol Balneal and Recovery Sanatorium in September 2019 and involved a number of 20 subjects, 10 men, 10 women, with age between 35-65, divided in two groups, control and experimental. All subjectes were diagnosed with lumbar discopathy and had low back pain with vary intensities and no surgical intervention. Every subject attended a number of 10 consecutive physical therapy sessions of 45-50 minutes, one per day, two weeks. The control group performed the Williams program for lumbar disk hernia, the experimental group performed the Williams program, slow revearsal and slow revearsal with resistance.The study subjects were measured, innitial and final, with Schober Test and Oswestry Questionnaire. Results: From the statistical analysis of the data, it can be observed progress and the symptomps improvement on both groups, with higher values for the experimental, so the experiment hypotesis was confirmed. Conclusions: The study demonstrates the effectiveness of specific physical therapy means to diminish/abolish the patients pain intensity, preparing them to perform qualitative normal life activities. Key-words: low back pain, muscular relaxation, neuro-proprioceptive techniques.
