Interventions

OTHER

Pilates

Pilates training will be given to groups of 3 people for 8 weeks, 2 days a week. Exercises will start with 10-12 repetitions and the number of repetitions will be increased to 20 starting from the 4th week. Before the Pilates training, basic principles such as breathing, concentration, focusing on the center, control, precision and fluid movement will be taught in a special session to inform individuals about the training principles and exercises. Each exercise will be demonstrated by the physiotherapist and cues such as tactile, verbal and imagery will be used to control the participants throughout the training. The difficulty level of Pilates training will be progressed by changing body positions, exercise ball and band use according to the performance of the patients and Pilates principles. The exercise program will start with warm-up exercises and end with 40 minutes of basic Pilates exercises followed by cooling exercises.

OTHER

Pilates and Kinesiotape

Patients in the Pilates and Kinesiotape group will receive exactly the same Pilates training as in the Pilates group. At the end of each exercise session, Kinesio Tex Gold FP elastic tape (5 cm) will be applied with mechanical correction technique for postural correction and the tape will be renewed in each session. Waterproof, porous, adhesive, 0.5 mm thick tape will be applied to the upper trapezius.
