Detailed Description
Firstly, people being informed about the study and those who determine eligibility criteria they written informer consent.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Neck Disability Index
Time Frame: baseline (after randomization), at 4th week (after 8th session), at 8th week (after 16th session), 3 months after randomization
This questionnaire informed us about the affection to have the neck pain in human ability to manage it in everyday life. Measured neck disability with 4 (absence of disability) and \>35 (full disability).
Numerical Rating Scale
Time Frame: baseline (after randomization), at 4th week (after 8th session), at 8th week (after 16th session), 3 months after randomization
Measured pain intensity with 0 (no pain) and 100 (the worst pain ever).
Secondary Outcomes
- Range of Motion(baseline (after randomization), at 4th week (after 8th session), at 8th week (after 16th session), 3 months after randomization)
