Mézières Therapy in the UCAM's Athletes With Low Back Pain
The purpose of this research study focuses on the re-harmonization of the kinetic chains and
 posture based on spinal muscular atrophy and global stretching while trying to test the
 effectiveness of Mézières therapy on sports subjects with low back pain.
The experimental study was conducted on 139 young athletes of National Rhythmic Gymnastics of
 Murcia, UCAM Murcia CF and UCAM Murcia CB/EBA during a six months period in the city of
 Murcia. Precisely, the Mézières therapy was conducted in an experimental group of 69 athletes
 and in a control group with other 70 athletes with Low Back Pain. This study is developed
 through a cycle of global stretching decompensate interventions on the athletes with postural
 alterations and vertebral pain at 95% confidence level. The statistical analysis was handled
 by using the univariate general linear model with the support of SPSS statistics.
