Specificity in Exercise Intervention for Low Back Pain

When addressing low back pain, the specificity of exercise interventions depends on the nature of the pain. General loading and movement exercises are suitable for nonspecific low back pain. However, for issues like extension-related pain, specific exercises targeting the problematic movement pattern may be necessary for desensitization and habituation. The principle here is to match the specificity of the exercise intervention to the particular movement or pain pattern being addressed.
