Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	traditional exercise therapy only	50-minute program included a 10-minute warm-up phase (treadmill walking at a comfortable speed), 30 minutes of stretching exercises for (glutei, paraspinal muscles, hamstring, pectoralis, scalenus, intercostal muscles, and trapezius), and a 10-minute cool-down involving self-stretching and respiratory exercises
DEVICE	HILT alongside traditional exercise therapy	YAG laser device (HIRO 3.0; ASA Laser, Arcugnano, Italy). This equipment delivers pulsed laser light at a wavelength of 1,064 nm, with a very high peak power of 3 kW and energy density ranging from 360 to 1,780 mJ/cm2. It operates with short pulse durations between 120 and 150 μs, at low frequencies of 10 to 40 Hz, and has a duty cycle of about 0.1%.
