Role of Latissimus Dorsi–Thoracolumbar Fascia Complex Stretching on Pain and Pain‐Related Parameters in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomised Clinical Trial

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a multifactorial condition, with the thoracolumbar fascia increasingly recognized as a potential contributing factor. This study suggests that stretching the latissimus dorsi-thoracolumbar fascia complex in combination with conventional physiotherapy, enhances pain thresholds, reduces pain sensitivity, and decreases disability in individuals with CLBP. Incorporating fascia-specific interventions into CLBP treatment programs could offer significant benefits for both patients and clinicians.

Abstract

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a multifactorial condition, with the thoracolumbar fascia increasingly recognized as a potential contributing factor. This study suggests that stretching the latissimus dorsi-thoracolumbar fascia complex in combination with conventional physiotherapy, enhances pain thresholds, reduces pain sensitivity, and decreases disability in individuals with CLBP. Incorporating fascia-specific interventions into CLBP treatment programs could offer significant benefits for both patients and clinicians.
