Lumbar Stabilization Exercise
There will be 16 sessions, twice a week, with 40-60 minutes each session. In this arm the participants will learn basic notions about anatomy and biomechanics and the lumbar stabilization technique. They will be evaluated by a pressure biofeedback in the first day that will be used in the training. The lumbar stabilization technique consists of three stages: cognitive, associated and automatic. The biofeedback is used in the first stage and it helps patients to do the best contraction of stabilization muscles in different levels of pressure. Then, in stage two the patients do the contraction without the use of biofeedback and in the last phase different exercises are associated with the contraction of stabilization muscles.
Circular dance
There will be 16 sessions, twice a week, with 60 minutes each session. In this arm the participants will do the exercises in a group of 20 subjects. In every meeting there will be the follow stages: reception, reflection, warming/stretching, explanation about circular dance, choreography orientation, practice and finishing.
