The therapeutic exercise protocol will be taught to patients in the first session and will be done 3 times a week for 12 weeks.

This group will receive BBAT as well as therapeutic exercises for 3 times a week for 12 week. Therapeutic exercises will include strengthening, stretching, and stabilization exercises. BBAT will include postural alignment, breathing, and cognitive exercises.

This group will not receive any treatment.

Therapeutic exercise sessions will begin with a short educational talk that provides information on proper body mechanics, and the benefits of exercise, followed by simple warm-ups and three different stretching and five different strengthening exercises that emphasize hip, abdominal, and back muscles. The frequency of repetitions of each stretching and strength exercise will be 10 with a holding time of 10 sec. Each set of strengthening exercises will be followed by a different set of stretching exercises. Sessions will end with a short unguided period of deep slow breathing.

Body awareness of the participants will be evaluated Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) developed by Shields, Mallory & Simon. BAQ is a questionnaire that aims to determine the normal or abnormal sensitivity level of body composition. It consists of four subgroups (Attention to changes in body process and responses, sleep-wake cycle, prediction at onset of illness, prediction of body responses) and a total of 18 statements. The participant will be asked to rate each statement with numbers from one to seven (1 = not at all true for me, 7 = completely true for me). Rating in the survey is done as a total score. It is concluded that the higher the total score to be obtained from the questionnaire, the better the body awareness.

The pain levels of the PmW will be measured with the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire. The questionnaire, developed by Melzack in 1987 and the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of which was demonstrated in 2007, is widely used in measuring pain. This questionnaire consists of a total of 15 descriptive words to determine the sensory (11 words) and affective (4 words) dimensions of pain. In this section, the severity of pain (0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe) is evaluated. In addition, the pain felt at the time of measurement is measured with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the total pain intensity is measured with a 10-point Likert scale. On this scale, 1 = no pain, 10 = unbearable pain.

Pain coping strategies of PmW will be assessed with Pain Coping Inventory (PCI). The scale developed by Kraaimaat and Evers evaluates how often chronic pain patients use behavioral and cognitive methods to cope with pain. The original form of the scale includes six dimensions as pain transformation, distraction, reducing demands, retreating, worrying, and resting. Pain transformation, comforting thinking, and distraction are active coping methods; retreat, worrying, and resting are passive coping methods. The scoring options range from 1 (almost none) to 4 (very often).
