Sponsor's own description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of two different physiotherapy methods on non-specific neck pain in working age individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the effect of self stretching exercise on non-specific neck pain, functional disability, range of motion of the cervical spine and hand muscle strength in working age individuals?
* What is the effect of post-isometric relaxation exercise on non-specific neck pain, functional disability, range of motion of the cervical spine and hand muscle strength in working age individuals?
* Is any of the applied interventions (self-stretching or post-isometric relaxation exercise) superior to each other?

Participants will:

* be evaluated by an experienced physiotherapist who will perform the interview and physical examination. Interview includes questions about the age, sex, work profile, pain intensity and duration, and other complaints. Physiotherapy examination includes a range of motion measurement, hand grip muscle strength and functional disability index evaluation.
* Two different interventions will be prescribed to the randomly assigned study participants: post-isometric relaxation and self-stretching. Duration of interventions for both groups is 4 weeks (3 times per week, 12 sessions). Duration of one session - 45 min.
