Intervention type: OTHER
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: conventional physical therapy
Description: A hotpack will be applied to the neck area for 15 minutes in the prone position of the patients. Conventional type Tens with a frequency of 50 Hz and a pulse duration of \<150 microseconds will be applied for 20 minutes, taking the painful area to the center. Ultrasound will be applied to the patients for 5 minutes with a dosage of 1-1.5 watts/cm2. Cervical joint range of motion exercises, stretching exercises for trapezius, scalenia, rhomboid, levator scapulae, pectoral and suboccipital muscles will be applied, then cervical isometric strengthening exercises and stabilization exercises will be carried out in a controlled manner. Conventional physical therapy will be applied by the same physiotherapist 5 days a week for 3 weeks.

Intervention: Active Kinesiotaping
Description: For kinesio-tape application, a 20 cm long Y strip and a 15 cm long I strip tape will be prepared. The patient will flex his neck, and the application will be started from the midline of the upper thoracic vertebrae. Initially, 4-5 cm stretching will be applied, and the arms of the Y strip will be adhered to the cervical paravertebral muscles without stretching. I strip will be applied to the painful area with the area correction technique, with maximum stretching in the middle and without stretching the ends. The applications will be made by the same physiatrist with 7 years of clinical experience.

Intervention: Sham Kinesiotaping
Description: For Sham kinesio-tape application, a 20 cm long Y strip and a 15 cm long I strip tape will be prepared. The patient will flex his neck, the application will be started from the midline of the upper thoracic vertebrae, and the Y and I bands will be applied without stretching. The applications will be made by the same physiatrist with 7 years of clinical experience.
