Summary

This observational study at Bahçeşehir University will test whether a 6-week program of posture exercises and ergonomics education can reduce pain and improve sleep in 25 office workers aged 20-55. Participants will attend a one-day training, get a brochure with exercise videos via QR codes, and do exercises during workdays. Researchers will compare pain, posture, and sleep scores before and after the program.
