DOI: https://doi.org/10.47391/JPMA.24-57 Abstract Segmental Stabilisation Training (SST) a programmeinitially conceived by Carolyn Richardson and her team,serves as a specialised approach tailored to alleviatemechanical low back pain. Built upon decades of rigorousresearch, this exercise model rests upon the foundationalprinciples of core stability. SST is unique due to its singularfocus on addressing the root cause of low back pain,thereby presenting a promising avenue for averting thefrequent relapses characteristic of this condition. Manyfitness regimens that emphasize core stability incorporatethe Abdominal Drawing-in manoeuver. However, theefficacy of this technique often remains unrealized due toa lack of awareness regarding its correct execution. It isimperative to note that the true benefits of the AbdominalDrawing-in manoeuver manifest only when performedaccurately, ensuring the activation of deep core musclesand, in turn, preventing the recurrence of low back pain.The SST programme offers clear and precise guidance,enabling both clinicians and patients to acquire therequisite skills for its correct implementation. This minireviewhighlights the significance of SST in low back painmanagement and also elucidates the crucial role of precisetechnique execution.Keywords: Low Back Pain, Exercise Therapy, Core Stability,Exercise Movement Technique, Physical Therapy Specialty,Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.
