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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) combined with corrective exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve posture, body image, and self-esteem in teens with rounded upper backs.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The added therapy may not provide significant benefits over exercise alone, and results may not apply to all teens.
