Healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: * Having a diagnosis of non-specific chronic neck pain (ICD-10: M54.2) and upper back pain (ICD-10: M54.6) * Having a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score of ≥ 3/10 * Not having received physiotherapy treatment within the previous 3 months * Not being a regular smoker or alcohol user Exclusion Criteria: * Having a history of cervical region surgery * Individuals with diagnostic codes other than M54.2 and M54.6 will be excluded from the study * Having a history of acute infection, major surgical intervention, or malignancy within the past three months * Having neurological, rheumatological, or respiratory system diseases * Being pregnant

Primary outcome measure(s)

Pain intensity — Baseline and at 8 weeks
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Participants will be asked to mark the point on a 10-cm scale that best represents the intensity of their pain, where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "the worst pain imaginable." The distance (in centimeters) from the 0 point to the participant's mark will be measured and recorded as the VAS score.
