Nursing personnel especially female Nurses have a higher prevalence of low back pain (LBP) among all health care workers. Improper body mechanics has a direct effect on the prevalence of LBP. Working with risky posture, prolonged standing, physical workload, bending and twisting are main contributing factors for LBP among Nursing professionals. Majority of Nurses lack knowledge, and hence don’t use body mechanics when turning, moving, lifting, and transferring the patients. Researches proved that physical exercises and yoga are an acceptable method for improving and maintaining physical and emotional health. Studies revealed that yoga appears to be an effective and safe intervention for low back pain. Educational training programs of body mechanics integrated with physical exercises and yoga can play a vital role in decreasing low back pain among Nurses
