Physiotherapist-guided online exercise for remote white-collar workers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This single-arm prospective study enrolls remote white-collar workers with neck or low-back pain or perceived postural disorders and delivers a six-week physiotherapist-supervised online exercise program. Intervention sessions are delivered remotely via digital devices and tailored to each participant's physical needs by a physiotherapist. Outcomes measured include pain intensity and functional performance before and after the program to provide preliminary evidence of clinical effectiveness. Participants with major chronic diseases, neurological or sensory impairments are excluded, so results will apply mainly to otherwise healthy, sedentary remote workers.
