Summary

Mechanical neck pain (MNP) is defined as neck pain that becomes evident with the posture of the cervical region, movement or palpation of the cervical region muscles, felt in the cervical, occipital or posterior scapular region without spreading to the upper extremity, and without any trauma or specific pathology underlying the complaints. Most of the MNP cases are due to muscular or paraspinal soft tissue problems and show improvement in the first 6 weeks with conservative treatment methods. Various manual therapy techniques and various exercises are reported to have positive effects on neck pain. However, the isolated effects of these techniques in people with MNP are not fully known. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the effects of two different treatment programs in which the manual therapy technique and the exercise program are applied in individuals with MNP. In addition, comparing the effect of the treatment program in which manual therapy and exercise program are applied together with the isolated effects of these techniques is another aim.
