Interventions
mhealth application
Individuals enrolled in the mhealth intervention will receive tailored content will include exercises focused on mobility, flexibility, core stabilization, and strengthening. Additionally, the mobile application will provide educational material on pain and health, covering topics such as the neurophysiology of pain, the multidimensional nature of low back pain, myths and facts about the condition, the importance of sleep, and stress management, which will include relaxation techniques and mindfulness. All content will be evidence-based, using clinical guidelines, systematic reviews and other high-quality studies to support inclusion in the mobile application. The intervention will be supervised by a physiotherapist, remotely via messaging or telephone calls.
Conventional exercise therapy
Participants in this intervention will receive a printed booklet containing a description and recommendations for carrying out an exercise program at home, which will be characterized by general exercises (such as strengthening, mobilization). The intervention will be supervised by a physiotherapist, remotely via messaging or telephone calls.
