Brief summary

Chronic neck pain causes errors in joint position. There are studies in the literature suggesting that the application of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization improves the sense of joint position. There are no studies that acutely examine this practice on joint position sense and pain in the cervical region. As a result of our study, we will investigate the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization in a single session on perception of pain and joint position.

Interventions

OTHERInstrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

Bilateral Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization application will be applied in a single session to the trapezius and sternocleideomastoideus muscles.

OTHERSham

Bilateral sham Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization application will be applied in a single session to the trapezius and sternocleideomastoideus muscles.
