The purpose of this study is to determine the immediate effect of the suboccipital release technique on trapezius muscle pain threshold, muscle activation, and anxiety level in individuals with anxiety.Thirty-six people with anxiety symptoms were included in the study. These people were divided into two groups, 18 control group and 18 treatment group. Upper trapezius muscle pain threshold, muscle activation and anxiety levels were evaluated. The experimental group received a single session of suboccipital release technique. The control group received a single session of sham suboccipital release. The evaluations were performed before and immediately after the treatment.The suboccipital release technique can increase the trapezius muscle upper part pain threshold and concentric muscle activation immediately after the application in individuals with anxiety.
