Abstract :
Nursing is one of the professions with the high-est prevalence of Low Back Pain (LBP). The prevalence of LBP in nursing is about 70% and in a year and 35 to 80% in their lifetime (1). Nurses require much physical activity, such as turning, bending, standing, handling patients dur-ing their works and these conditions make them prone to LBP (2, 3). It is essential to design a practical and feasible program for reducing the prevalence of LBP in nurses.
