The program is delivered in two progressive phases:\n\nWeeks 1-4: Postural awareness and basic muscle activation\n\nWeeks 5-8: Functional integration and advanced stabilization\n\nProgression criteria are based on repetitions: exercises begin at 9 reps × 3 sets, and progress to 15 reps × 3 sets. Static stretches start with 20 seconds × 2 sets and are increased to 3 sets before progressing.
