Interventions
Outpatient physiotherapy
Physiotherapy sessions will be individually tailored according to each participant's goals. Soft tissue and joint techniques will be used as needed to prepare the body for optimal posture activation in sitting, standing, walking, and other movements. Therapists will use reflex, mobilization, and soft-tissue techniques. The Motor Program Activating Therapy method will be the primary approach, complemented by Dynamic Muscular Stabilization and movement self-awareness techniques.
group psychotherapy
In addition, all participants will attend three 90-minute group psychotherapy sessions led by a psychologist. These sessions will support mental well-being, stress management, and motivation throughout the physiotherapy process. Participants will learn practical coping strategies for emotions, pain, and psychological strain. Relaxation techniques will be demonstrated and practiced, and basic nutritional recommendations will be provided in written or online form.
