Neck pain which is common musculoskeletal system problem in all populations, negatively affects functional status and quality of life. Muscle spasms, postural problems in cervical and thoracic regions and impairment on respiratory parameters (respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength) is seen with neck pain. Manual therapy and exercise are widely preferred in the treatment of neck pain for improve pain, posture, muscle strength, range of motion, functional status and quality of life.

There are some studies showing that manual therapy improves respiratory parameters in pulmonary diseases but studies are lacking for neck pain. Our aim is to indicate that effects of manual therapy, manual therapy for different regions (cervical and/or thoracal region) and exercises for pain, posture, quality of life and also respiratory parameters in patients with chronic neck pain.
