Abstract

Studies show that the stress imposed by long working hours, usually in poor postures and inadequate furniture, combined with repetitive movements and work with loads in some professions, result in high prevalence of low back pain and postural problems in workers. The Gymnastics Labor (GL), aims to prepare the employee psychophysiologically before starting his work day and during working hours, through specific exercises, thus acting in a therapeutic and preventive, light and short term. To conduct an integrative review study, aiming to present the relevance of labor gymnastics in spinal pain due to long working hours. Study conducted through an integrative literature review, which analyzed the databases of Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and United States National Library of Medicine - PubMed. Articles that addressed occupational gymnastics in workers' health were selected. Of the 43 articles found, only 10 articles met the previously established inclusion criteria. The occupational gymnastics program (PGL) is a powerful preventive and therapeutic instrument in the intensive worker's journey.
