Cervical Pain and Exercise in Musicians
Cervical Pain and Exercise in Musicians
Exercise training that is one of the effective treatment methods for cervical pain, is
 crucial in developing mobility and stability. Exercise training significantly reduces
 cervical pain as it advances postural alignment and neuromuscular coordination. In many
 single group studies on cervical pain in violin performers, it has been reported that the
 stabilization exercises have favorable consequences on pain relief and postural correction.
 But, there are no studies comparing ney and violin performers and analyzing the effectiveness
 of exercise training on non-specific cervical pain. The aim of this study is to search the
 effects of selected exercise training on pain, disability, range of motion, flexibility,
 strength and quality of life in ney and violin performers with non-specific cervical pain.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Being professional musicians

 -  Using violin or ney musical instruments

 -  Had non-specific cervical pain during 3 months

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Had cervical surgery in the last 3 months, discogenic pain, radiculopathy,
 neurological or systemic disorders,

 -  Missing exercise training session more than 2
