Abstract

Movement therapy is one of the important and safe therapeutic methods because it ensures human life in all its affairs. Rehabilitation exercises are an effective and natural method that does not expose the patient to complications on other body functions because it is free of any harmful chemical medicine. Modern techniques in physical therapy have also been widely used. Prepared according to scientific principles, including Core exercises that help relieve pain with a herniated disc in the fourth and fifth vertebrae. Pre- and post-tests were conducted for strength from the forward and backward bending position using a force sensor and the flexibility of the spine for bending from the front and back. The two researchers concluded significant differences in the strength and flexibility tests of the spine. Recommending the application of Core exercises to other injuries to improve the strength and flexibility of other joints. The two researchers also recommend publishing booklets to be placed in physical therapy centers to benefit from postgraduate research.
