Interventions

OTHERTraditional therapy

All participants will receive a 60-minute individual treatment program consisting of 16 sessions of routine physiotherapy aimed at reducing pain and improving function over four weeks. These treatments are already the patient's routine physiotherapy modalities. No changes will be made to the study. Since the questionnaires to be used in the study are related to fear of movement and pain, neuroscience education will be included in the treatment program of the patients. Patients will be informed about proper posture and movement regarding fear of movement and pain avoidance behaviors.
