Immidate Effect of Instrument Assited Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique on Chronic Neck Pain

Immidate Effect of Instrument Assited Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique on Pain and Joint Position Sense in Individuals With Chronic Neck Pain

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.
