Standardized Rehabilitation Program
Participants completed 16 supervised 60-minute physiotherapy sessions over four weeks. The standardized core program comprised lumbar stabilization and trunk-strengthening exercises, lower-limb flexibility training, postural education, and weekly 45-minute pain-related cognitive education addressing pain neurophysiology, fear, avoidance, and safe movement. Superficial heat, conventional TENS, or therapeutic ultrasound could be added by the treating physiotherapist when clinically indicated.
