Exercise-based Telerehabilitation Program for Police Officers and Firefighters With Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain

Telerehabilitation is defined as providing techniques for therapeutic rehabilitation remotely or off-site using telecommunication technologies. Thus, our intervention will be based on the use of a smartphone application created especially for the study that will contain a program of progressive physical exercises with images and descriptions, educational messages and an online booklet for the study subjects, totaling 8 weeks of training and pain education.

An online booklet containing information about chronic low back pain and weekly messages about low back pain causes, suggestions for lifestyle modifications and behavior will be delivered, as well as an incentive to perform physical exercises.
