Brief Summary
This prospective longitudinal pre-post intervention study aims to evaluate the effects of an 8-week physiotherapy program combining face-to-face and asynchronous tele-rehabilitation sessions in individuals with chronic persistent pain and depressive disorder. The intervention is based on pain neuroscience education and therapeutic exercise. Outcomes include pain intensity, psychosocial factors, adherence to treatment, usability of telemedicine, balance, body awareness, and participants' experiences collected through focus groups.

Hybrid Physiotherapy Program
EXPERIMENTALHybrid Physiotherapy Program consisted of Pain Neuroscience Education and Therapeutic Exercise
Interventions
Hybrid Physiotherapy Program consisted of Pain Neuroscience Education and Therapeutic Exercise: Behavioral: Pain Neuroscience Education Eight weekly face-to-face educational sessions complemented by asynchronous telematic educational videos covering pain neurophysiology, biopsychosocial approaches, neuroplasticity, motor imagery and self-management strategies. Behavioral: Therapeutic Exercise Eight weeks of supervised group exercise. Exercises include strength, aerobic, balance, flexibility, coordination and dual-task activities.
