Interventions

PILATES BASED EXERCISE TRAINING WITH REFORMER OTHER

Participants will only be given training on pilates-based exercises with reformers. Breathing, which are the 5 key elements of clinical pilates exercises after the first evaluation to individuals, Focus, rib cage placement, shoulder placement, head and neck placement will be taught. Whole Participants will be informed about the reformer instrument and work schedule. Exercises 2 days a week, 6 Will be applied throughout the week.

NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL FASCILITATION TECHNIQUES; PILATES BASED EXERCISE TRAINING WITH REFORMER

NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL FASCILITATION TECHNIQUES OTHER

In addition to reformer-based pilates training, participants will be given Neurophysiological facilitation techniques training. Neurophysiological facilitation techniques are non-invasive, easy to apply, the physiotherapist is active It consists of exercises made with guidance and active participation of the patient. These techniques are any Does not contain an electrotherapy current. In this study, the neurophysiological Facilitation techniques, perioral stimulation, intercostal tension, anterior basal lift, vertebral pressure, medium Graded manual pressure and abdominal co-contraction techniques and each technique for 15 seconds Will be applied. Neurophysiological facilitation techniques are used to repeat 10 sessions each session throughout the treatment. It will be done.
