    Non-specific low back pain is a very important socio-sanitary problem, since it represents the second cause of chronic pain and disability worldwide; In addition, it includes the pathology with the greatest burden of disability. Its clinical and therapeutic approach is oriented towards the administration of drugs and conventional physiotherapy, which have not been able to reduce the chronicity of the condition or recurrences; Therefore, new trends suggest the application of exercises such as hypopressive abdominals, whose benefits are already known. In this way, it was proposed to determine the effects of the hypopressive abdominal technique on non-specific chronic low back pain in administrative personnel, through a descriptive, longitudinal cohort study and a quantitative approach; on 30 workers from the Cotocollao clinic who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pain intensity was measured with the Lattineen index and the level of disability associated with low back pain with the Oswestry index, both before and after the application of the intervention. The hypopressive exercise program was applied for 12 weeks after its review and validation under expert judgment. The results demonstrated a clinical improvement, where the clinical symptoms decreased and there were significant differences between the measures (p<= 0.05). In this way, it is concluded that the hypopressive abdominal technique reduces pain and the level of disability associated with non-specific low back pain in workers of the Cotocollao clinic.
