Evaluating the Impact of Mindfulness Based Physical Therapy on Burnout Syndrome Among University Students.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a mindfulness-based physical therapy intervention can reduce burnout syndrome and improve musculoskeletal pain and quality of life among undergraduate Allied Health Sciences students aged 18-30 years who are experiencing burnout symptoms, musculoskeletal pain, and reduced quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a structured Mindfulness-Based Physical Therapy (MBPT) program reduce burnout symptoms compared to standard physical therapy alone? * Does MBPT improve musculoskeletal pain and quality of life compared to standard physical therapy alone? Researchers will compare a Mindfulness-Based Physical Therapy intervention group to a control group receiving a standardized physical therapy program to determine whether the addition of mindfulness techniques results in greater improvements in burnout, pain, and quality of life. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. * Attend supervised 60-minute sessions three times per week for six weeks (total of 18 sessions). * Receive a standardized baseline physical therapy program consisting of full-body active range of motion and general mobility exercises within pain-free limits. * If assigned to the intervention group, receive structured mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises, posture correction, stretching, progressive muscle relaxation, and group reflection during each session. * Complete 10-15 minutes of daily home mindfulness practice (intervention group only). * Complete validated questionnaires at baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention.
