Sponsor's own description
Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints worldwide and is an important health problem that restricts the daily life activities of individuals. In particular, chronic non-specific neck pain (CNSNP) describes pain that persists for at least 12 weeks without an underlying specific pathological cause and affects a large segment of the population. CNSNP leads not only to pain but also to functional limitations, postural disorders and decreased quality of life. In recent years, exercise-based approaches, especially core stabilisation exercises, have become prominent in the treatment of CNSNP. Core stabilisation exercises aim to increase postural control, improve segmental stability and thus reduce pain by activating deep muscle groups around the spine. However, it has been reported that exercises targeting only local muscle groups may be insufficient to meet the high-level biomechanical and neuromuscular needs of the cervical spine. In this context, the effect of the mobility of the thoracic spine on neck function is noteworthy. Hypomobility in the thoracic region may contribute to pain and dysfunction by increasing the load on the cervical spine. Therefore, it is thought that adding thoracic mobilisation exercises to core stabilisation exercises may be more effective in improving neck pain and postural disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of adding thoracic mobilisation to a core stabilisation exercise programme in individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain.
