【Purpose】This study was examination for acute effect of non-spesific low back pain (NSLBP) relief in worker. 【Methods】Subjects were 61 male with NSLBP in manufacturing industry. The exercise for three minutes was the following two programs: a stretching for hamstrings in sitting position; anteflexion-, retroflexion- and lateroflection-exercise accompanied with rotation of the trunk. We classified two groups were non-chronic NSLBP group (continuation of low back pain was less than 3 months, n=21) and chronic NSLBP group (continuation of low back pain was more than three months, n=40). We evaluated degree of low back pain with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) before and after exercise practice in two groups. 【Results】Low back pain was significantly decreased after exercise practice than before exercise practice between both groups (from 2.0±1.0 score to 1.2±1.2 score for non-chronic NSLBP group, from 3.1±1.6 score to 2.3±1.6 score for chronic NSLBP group). 【Conclusions】Quick combined simple exercise was able to reduce NSLBP in male worker. The present exercise program may be effectiveness for an anti-NSLBP measure in workers.
