Summary

This study explores whether Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) — a program of gentle, mindful exercises — can change walking patterns and foot pressure in healthy young adults aged 18 to 25. Participants will attend twice-weekly sessions for 12 weeks, and researchers will measure gait speed, step length, and how weight is distributed across the feet. The goal is to see if this low-intensity therapy can improve walking symmetry and balance, with effects lasting three months after training ends.
