Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effects of different physiotherapy approaches, such as manipulation, mobilization, and neck exercises, on pain, range of motion, neck functionality, quality of life, muscle tightness, and psychological status in individuals with non-specific neck tension. Throughout the study, the clinical, physical, and myofascial parameters, as well as the psychological statuses of the patients, were recorded through detailed evaluations conducted before and after the treatment, within the framework of a treatment program planned as 2 sessions per week for a total of 8 sessions over 4 weeks.

Conditions

  • Non-Specific Neck Strain
  • Neck Pain Treatment

Interventions

OTHER

Manipulation and Exercise

Participants undergo cervical (general, C1) and thoracic manipulation, followed by a standardized exercise program including neck range of motion exercises (flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation), pectoral and trapezius stretching, and chin tucks.

OTHER

Mobilization and Exercise

Participants undergo cervical (C2-C4) and thoracic mobilization, traction with rotation, and gliding techniques (anterior-posterior/lateral), followed by the same standardized exercise program as mentioned above (neck ROM, stretching, chin tucks).

BEHAVIORAL

Standardized Exercise Program

Participants perform only the standardized exercise program consisting of neck range of motion exercises (flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation), pectoral and trapezius stretching, and chin tuck exercises.
