Influence of Sedentary Lifestyle and Prolonged Sitting on Lumbo-Pelvic Dysfunction and Chronic Low Back Pain: A Narrative Review

Abstract Sedentary lifestyle and prolonged sitting have become increasingly prevalent due to technological advancements, desk-based occupations, and reduced physical activity levels. Prolonged sitting posture has been strongly associated with lumbo-pelvic dysfunction, muscular imbalance, altered spinal biomechanics, and chronic low back pain (CLBP). Sustained sitting may contribute to reduced core muscle activation, posterior pelvic tilt, hamstring tightness, gluteal inhibition, and increased mechanical stress on lumbar structures, thereby predisposing individuals to chronic musculoskeletal dysfunction. This narrative review aims to evaluate the influence of sedentary behavior and prolonged sitting on lumbo-pelvic dysfunction and chronic low back pain while highlighting current physiotherapy rehabilitation strategies. A structured literature search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, PEDro, and Cochrane Library databases for studies published between 2000 and 2025. Evidence from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, cohort studies, and observational investigations demonstrated that prolonged sitting and physical inactivity significantly contribute to postural dysfunction, lumbar instability, reduced muscular endurance, and chronic low back pain. Exercise-based rehabilitation approaches including core stabilization, stretching, ergonomic correction, motor control exercises, and postural retraining demonstrated positive outcomes in improving pain, lumbo-pelvic stability, and functional performance. The findings support the importance of early physiotherapy intervention and ergonomic awareness in sedentary populations to reduce the risk of chronic low back pain and associated functional disability.
