The study will include a total of 40 individuals aged 18-65 years with chronic neck pain for at least three months. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: the Mulligan mobilization group (n=20) and the AYDM group (n=20). Both groups will receive a total of 12 treatment sessions, 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Assessments will be performed before and after treatment. Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), cervical awareness using the Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire (FNA), and functionality using the Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale (CNFDS). In addition, measurements of cervical joint range of motion, deep neck flexor muscle endurance, quality of life (SF-36), and depression level (Beck Depression Scale) will be taken.
