Interventions
The exercise programme will be conducted as a single session two days a week for 6 weeks. The sessions will always be conducted by the same physiotherapist. Each exercise session will consist of 10 minutes of warm-up exercises, 40 minutes of neck motor control exercises and 10 minutes of cool down exercises. Each exercise will be performed as 2 sets of 10 repetitions.
The content of this education consists of information about the disease and symptoms, chewing recommendations, dietary changes, parafunctional habits, activities to be avoided, posture recommendations.
