Brief Summary

People with neck pain often experience pain, neck disability, and poor quality of life. Postural-based awareness programs are evidence-based interventions for postural problems and neck pain disorders. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a telehealth physiotherapist-delivered postural awareness program combined with exercise in people with neck pain. Pain, neck disability, leisure time management, and exercise stage of change were evaluated.
