Pilates and core stability exercises have emerged as potential interventions for Fibromyalgia (FM) , both targeting muscle strength, flexibility, and posture. However, existing studies have primarily relied on subjective self-report measures to assess outcomes. This study aims to employ more objective assessments, including biomechanical and functional measures, to compare the efficacy of core stability exercises and Pilates in improving symptoms of FM.
