Abstract
Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the most current causes to physical functions, psychological
stress, and economy. Clinical practice guidelines for LBP can be divided into three main categories;
education, drug therapy, and non-medical intervention. The recent guidelines recommend the use of
exercise for the management of LBP problems. Hydrotherapy is an alternative exercise program to
achieve rehabilitation for LBP. Water properties include buoyancy, viscosity and hydrostatic pressure,
which can be applied with stretching, strengthening and endurance exercise. Hydrotherapy exercise
procedures consist of warm up, exercise and cool down phase. This program can reduce the risk of
injury and disability due to safer and low risks.
