Treatments
Experimental: Supervised Schroth Exercise Group (SSEG)
Participants in this group will receive the exercise program under direct, one-on-one supervision by a physiotherapist. This is a purely physical exercise intervention. No drugs or devices are used as part of the intervention. Only the Schroth exercise program is administered.
Active_comparator: Home Exercise Program Group (HEPG)
Participants in this group will be provided with an individualized home exercise program that matches the supervised group in terms of principles, content, and duration. This is a purely physical exercise intervention. No drugs or devices are used as part of the intervention. Only the Schroth exercise program is administered.
