The aim of this study was to reach an agreement on the definition and use of TE in the care of people with LBP. Methods: A Delphi study was carried out with a formal consensus procedure and sufficient scientific evidence, using an established methodology. Four rounds of anonymous questionnaires were administered to create useful suggestions and instructions in terms of the therapeutic activity for patients with LBP, and a group consensus conference. Results: A consensus was reached on most of the questions after 35 physiotherapists completed the questionnaires. Participants agreed that proper TE requires correct posture, body awareness, breathing, movement control, and instruction. Patients with LBP were advised to participate in supervised sessions twice a week for 30 to 60 min for a period of 3 to 6 months. Participants added that tailored evaluation and exercise prescription, monitoring, and functional integration of exercise, as well as using specific equipment, would benefit patients with LBP. Conclusions: TE recommendations for patients with LBP should be dosed and customized based on their personal psychological needs, level of fitness, and kinesiophobia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm13101510","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,19]],"date-time":"2023-10-19T07:15:36Z","timestamp":1697699736000},"page":"1510","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Therapeutic Exercise Parameters, Considerations and Recommendations for the Treatment of Non-Specific Low Back Pain: International DELPHI Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4129-2084","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zacar\u00edas","family":"S\u00e1nchez Mil\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NEUMUSK Group, Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de \u00c1vila, 05005 \u00c1vila, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teresa Villa","family":"Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FisioSalud \u00c1vila, 05002 \u00c1vila, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda del Rosario","family":"Ferreira S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NEUMUSK Group, Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de \u00c1vila, 05005 \u00c1vila, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6399-3861","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ra\u00fal","family":"Frutos Llanes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NEUMUSK Group, Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de \u00c1vila, 05005 \u00c1vila, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2616-8306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"Barrag\u00e1n Casas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NEUMUSK Group, Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de \u00c1vila, 05005 \u00c1vila, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3629-6590","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Rodr\u00edguez Sanz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Enfermer\u00eda, Fisioterapia y Podolog\u00eda, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2608-2019","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"Vel\u00e1zquez Saornil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NEUMUSK Group, Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de \u00c1vila, 05005 \u00c1vila, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"482","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(11)60610-7","article-title":"Non-specific low back pain","volume":"379","author":"Mannion","year":"2012","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"769","DOI":"10.1016\/j.berh.2010.10.002","article-title":"The Epidemiology of low back pain","volume":"24","author":"Hoy","year":"2010","journal-title":"Best Pract.
