The effect of connective tissue massage applied in addition totheexercise program on pain, joint range of moti̇onand lifesatisfaction in individuals with chronic neck pain

To investigate the pain, range of motion and life satisfaction of connective tissue massage in addition to the exercise program in individuals with chronic neck pain, 56 volunteers with chronic neck pain were investigated. In the study, in scales that have proven validity and reliability, such as the Visual Analog Scale for pain intensity, Goniometer to determine range of motion, neck disability questionnaire to Question Neck Disability and Life Satisfaction questionnaire to measure life-related desires. The subjects were divided into two groups as the experimental group and the control group, and connective tissue massage was applied by a physiotherapist in the experimental unit for 2 days and isometric neck exercises were given. Connective massage tissue was applied for a total of 8 sessions. In the control group, only isometric physy training was given 2 days a week. The exercises were given to the physiotherapist threshold for 8 sessions during the week in two groups, and the exercises to be performed for the remaining 22 days were given a home program. They were told to do 10 repetitions 3 times a day. The data obtained from the study were analyzed with the SPSS 24 program. According to the findings, one was seen when the difference between the experimental and control groups in the post-treatment VAS measurement levels reached 95% confidence (p <0.05). More talk was more with experiment exercise exercise. After the treatment, the difference between the levels of cervical range of motion extension measurement grouped with the experiment was one when the difference was seen at 95% confidence (p <0.05). The cervical range of motion extension measurement levels of the control group participants after treatment were higher than the participants. The differences between the post-treatment measurement measures of other measurement parameters were significant (p> 0.05).
