NCT ID NCT07598591
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a mind-body therapy called Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) to standard corrective exercises can improve body image, self-esteem, and posture in 60 adolescents with postural hyperkyphosis (a rounded upper back). Participants will do exercises twice a week for 12 weeks, with one group also doing BBAT and the other doing relaxation training. Researchers will measure changes in body awareness, spinal appearance perception, self-esteem, and posture.
