Popis: OBJECTIVE Ascertain the effects of visceral mobilization in low back pain management. METHODS A 33 years old female with complaint of acute low back pain referred for physiotherapy treatment, during her physical examination, we failed to correlate her pain with any neuro-musculoskeletal reference. So we extended our palpation on abdominal region and found tender points on bilateral iliac regions. Her pain was recorded on VAS pain scale that was 8-9/10. So, we decided to proceed through visceral mobilization on her reproductive system and at the end of the session she had no pain or discomfort. RESULTS There is a remarkable recovery in low back and leg pain by using VM only twice. It’s not only resolved completely but the effects sustained for more than a month. According to her, she observed great improvement in her walking. She regained the ability to sit on and get up from floor. She felt these differences right after the first session of treatment.
