Brief Summary

Mechanical neck pain is defined for the absence of cervical spinal pathologies.With the SNAGs mobile mobilization method, it reveals effective results in cases of limitation and pain in the cervical joints.Although there are studies with the Mulligan concept in the literature, studies examining the effects of the SNAGs technique on non-specific neck pain are limited. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Mulligan Concept SNAGs mobilization method applied in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program in individuals with nonspecific neck pain.
