- Brief Summary
1) General characteristics of subjects - There were no significant differences in the variables such as gender, age, height, and weight between the two groups. 2) Comparison of pain levels before and after intervention There was no significant difference in pre - test between groups. Post - test showed that pain level was significantly decreased in both groups (p <.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups. 3) Comparison of disability level before and after intervention There was no significant difference in pre - test between groups. Post - test showed that both groups showed significant decrease in dysfunction level (p <.05). 4) Comparison of posture alignment before and after intervention There was no significant difference in pre-test between the two groups of the two vertebrae (CVA) and the cranial rotation angle (CRA), and post-test showed significant improvement in both groups (p <.05). In the group difference, both cervical vertebra (CVA) and cranial rotation angle (CRA) showed significant improvement in the experimental group (p <.05). 5) Comparison of muscle thickness and shrinkage before and after intervention There was no significant difference between the two groups in the pre - test. There was a significant difference in myocardial thickness only in the experimental group (p <.05), and there was no significant difference in relaxation muscle thickness between the two groups. There was also a significant difference between groups in the muscle thickness during contraction (p <.05) in the experimental group (p <.05) and in the experimental group (p <.05) in the muscle contraction.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pain level test - Explain that 0 means 'no pain', 5 means 'moderate pain', 10 means 'unimaginably severe pain', and measure the pain level at the time of measurement as a questionnaire;Posture Alignment - An angle formed by the line connecting the line connecting the line of the cervical vertebra with the line of the ear, the line joining the cervical vertebra (CVA), the line connecting the cervical vertebra with the ear, To measure the cranial rotation angle (CRA);Muscle thickness and shrinkage - After restraining the cervical vertebra No. 7 and palpating the vertebra vertebrae, measure the resting position and contraction position of the muscle after the marking on the 8th thoracic vertebra. Shrinkage = (Thickness at contraction - Thickness at relaxation / Thickness at relaxation) * 100 Conversion
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cervical dysfunction index - To quantify the physical discomfort in daily life caused by neck pain, a Korean version questionnaire was used to measure
