Brief summary: The aim of our study is to compare the efficiency of Mulligan mobilization technique and cervical stabilization training in patients with chronic neck pain. The results obtained from the study will contribute to the planning of the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain more effectively.

Detailed description: The aim of our study is to compare the efficiency of Mulligan mobilization technique and cervical stabilization training in patients with chronic neck pain. The results obtained from the study will contribute to the planning of the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain more effectively.

The hypotheses we will test for this purpose; H1. Home exercise program will improve positively after treatment in patients with chronic neck pain compared to before treatment.

H2. Mulligan mobilization will improve positively after treatment in patients with chronic neck pain compared to before treatment.

H3. Cervical stabilization training will improve positively after treatment in patients with chronic neck pain compared to before treatment.

H4. Mulligan mobilization will provide more effective results in patients with chronic neck pain compared to other applications.
