Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of exercise therapy using social networking services (SNSs) to reduce nonspecific low back pain (NLBP) among healthcare and transportation workers. A total of 40 participants, 20 in the control group and 20 in the intervention group, were enrolled in the study. The intervention group received exercise therapy after answering questions regarding NLBP and classifying it into seven categories. The intervention group was asked to perform therapeutic 15-minute exercises suitable for each type of NLBP, as demonstrated by a physical therapist, the first author of this article, through YouTube, three times a week for 8 weeks. The results revealed that the SNS-based exercise therapy was significantly effective in reducing NLBP ( P < 0.05). Exercise therapy utilizing SNS effectively improved NLBP among healthcare and transportation workers.
