Current treatments include various interventions, but novel approaches are needed to improve functionality and reduce disability. To evaluate the effects of a postural hammock on pain and functionality in people with chronic neck and low back pain. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with participants experiencing chronic neck and\/or low back pain. They were assigned to either an experimental group using a postural hammock or a control group lying on a mat. Participants underwent five sessions of 10 min each over five consecutive days. Results: Forty-three subjects completed the study. While both groups showed improvements, the experimental group exhibited significant increases in hamstring flexibility and pain tolerance, measured through the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and pressure pain thresholds (PPT). Postural hammock use demonstrated potential benefits in pain management and flexibility compared to conventional methods. Conclusions: Using a postural hammock may offer benefits for individuals with chronic back pain. Future research should explore combining hammock therapy with other interventions to enhance outcomes and improve the quality of life for patients with back pain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina61030502","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,14]],"date-time":"2025-03-14T13:07:51Z","timestamp":1741957671000},"page":"502","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effects of a Postural Hammock in People with Chronic Neck Pain and Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"61","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6660-7943","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"Delfa-De-La-Morena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, 28922 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Cognitive Neuroscience, Pain and Rehabilitation in Health Sciences (NECODOR), Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, 28922 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-2225-5253","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan-Jos\u00e9","family":"Mijarra-Murillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, 28922 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1362-6312","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V\u00edctor","family":"Navarro-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, 28922 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Movement Analysis, Biomechanics, Ergonomics, and Motor Control Laboratory (LAMBECOM), Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, 28922 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7766-1507","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-V\u00e1zquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, 28922 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Movement Analysis, Biomechanics, Ergonomics, and Motor Control Laboratory (LAMBECOM), Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, 28922 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"366","DOI":"10.2471\/BLT.17.204891","article-title":"Reducing the Global Burden of Musculoskeletal Conditions","volume":"96","author":"Briggs","year":"2018","journal-title":"Bull.
