Participants in the intervention group will receive a virtual reality (VR)-based training program in addition to conventional physiotherapy. The intervention will consist of 12 treatment sessions, administered 3 times per week for 4 consecutive weeks. Each session will last approximately 30-35 minutes. The VR training will be delivered using commercially available exergaming and VR-based fitness applications, including Fit Beat Combat, Holo-point , and the EIR Training Fitness Program. These applications are designed to provide interactive, task-oriented exercises that challenge balance, coordination, postural control, and lower limb motor performance through engaging gameplay environments. Participants will be supervised during all sessions to ensure safety and proper performance of movements, and exercise intensity will be adjusted according to the participant's tolerance and performance.

Participants in the control group will receive a standardized educational pamphlet focusing on posture correction, ergonomic principles, and recommendations for maintaining proper body mechanics during daily activities and desk work. The pamphlet includes illustrated instructions and general advice aimed at reducing musculoskeletal strain. In addition, participants will attend a brief weekly educational and follow-up session conducted at their workplace, where key posture and ergonomic principles are reinforced and any questions are addressed. Furthermore, participants will be added to a daily reminder group (e.g., messaging group) to receive regular prompts and reminders to adhere to the recommended posture guidelines and exercises outlined in the pamphlet throughout the 4-week intervention period.
