Core Tip	This meta-analysis confirms the effectiveness of multimodal physical therapy in alleviating depressive symptoms. Multimodal physical therapy, which combines exercise with various complementary treatments, is believed to effectively reduce depressive symptoms by enhancing both physical health and psychological well-being. By combining various therapeutic approaches, it demonstrates significant potential benefits; however, sensitivity analyses highlight the necessity for additional high-quality research to strengthen the evidence.
