Brief summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of ergonomic training and exercise training given to workers in a textile factory.

Detailed description: The study will include workers between the ages of 18-60 who have neck pain and work at Ölmezler Textile Industry Trade limited company in Van province. Participants will be divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. All participants will receive ergonomic training. In addition, exercise training will be given to individuals in the experimental group. Exercises will be explained individually and will be supported with an exercise brochure. Craniosacral therapy will also be applied to the experimental group and a brochure will be given to teach joint protection principles. Participants will be asked to do the given exercises 3 days a week and continue for 12 weeks. The given exercises will be followed with an exercise follow-up chart. An evaluation will be made before and after the study.
