Abstract
Aim. The goal of the below work was to estimate the effectiveness of deep torso muscles exercises and its influence on the low back pain syndrome.
Material and methods: Research group consisted of 46 individuals, including 30 women and 16 men, who suffered from the low back pain syndrome. Age range of patients was between 32 and 62 years old, with the average age of 47 years old. Two research tools were used in the above work, the international questionnaire Revised Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability which contains 10 questions about the pain sensations during performing daily activities, and self-created questionnaire containing 6 questions including one about the level of pain felt by the patient. After filling both questionnaires patients took part in the 30 day long rehabilitation program where exercises strengthening the deep torso muscles were performed. After they finished the program, the individuals were asked to fill questionnaires again.
Results. Total level of health complaints after training cycle was 7.91 and decreased in a statistically significant way in relation to the value before the training cycle when it was 23.59, the difference being 15.67. The results arousing from the study clearly indicate a decrease in pain sensations among patients submitted to this analysis. After a full monthly therapy, average perceptible pain measured by the VAS scale decreased by 2.2 points and amounted to 3.67 points.
Conclusions. Performed tests clearly indicate that deep muscle exercise therapy repeated in cycles significantly reduced the subjective pain sensations among examined patients. General physical fitness improvement was also observed. Final results of research prove that strengthening of the torso muscles is an effective way of low back pain treatment.

Key words:
low back pain syndrome, functional training, deep torso muscles, VAS, Revised Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionary
