Brief Summary

Non-specific low back pain is the most cause of adult disability throughout life. Its prevalence widens in young adults. Background of this pathology can be multifactorial. One of the most common is poor core stability and overloading of the local tissues as a result. Among treatment methods stabilizing training is commonly used with good effects. This form of therapy affects the transverse abdomen and multifidus muscles. To assess these structures several methods can be applied, e.g. sonofeedback. Our hypothesis claims that the core muscles morphology will change over the training process duration, in result, the analgesic effect will be achieved.
