The Autogenic Training Program is a standardized mind-body relaxation technique that uses self-induced verbal formulas and passive concentration to promote autonomic regulation. The intervention includes guided sessions with 6 main exercises , The first exercise aims to relax muscles by repeating a verbal formula, "my right arm is heavy," emphasising heaviness. then feeling warm, initiated by the instruction ''my right arm is warm'', followed by cardiac activity using the formula ''my heartbeat is calm and regular''. Then follows passive concentration on the respiratory mechanism with the formula ''it breathes me'', then on warmth around the abdominal region with ''my solar plexus is warm'' and finally on coolness in the cranial region with ''my forehead is cool and clear'' . Participants will receive supervised training sessions followed by home practice instructions to enhance relaxation response and reduce physiological stress. in addition to conventional physiotherapy program

control group will receive a conventional physiotherapy program that includes stretching exercises, strengthening exercises, range-of-motion training, and standard therapeutic procedures routinely used for patients with similar conditions. The sessions will follow a structured protocol delivered by a physiotherapist, without including any relaxation or autogenic training components.
