Effects of Body Awareness Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Outcomes in Adults With Asthma
Sponsor: Recep Tayyip Erdogan University
Summary
This study aims to investigate the effects of Body Awareness Therapy on physical and psychosocial outcomes in adults with asthma. Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that can affect breathing, physical activity, and emotional well-being. In addition to medical treatment, non-pharmacological approaches that support body awareness and breathing may help individuals manage their symptoms more effectively. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to either a Body Awareness Therapy group or a control group receiving standard care. The Body Awareness Therapy program includes guided exercises focusing on posture, breathing, movement, and awareness of bodily sensations. The program will be delivered over several weeks by a trained physiotherapist. The main outcomes of the study include physical function, respiratory symptoms, quality of life, psychological well-being, and body awareness levels. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence on whether Body Awareness Therapy can be an effective supportive approach in asthma management and rehabilitation.
