Özet
Neck pain is a worldwide common health problem that significantly affects quality of life. The aim of this review is to evaluate the efficacy of Mulligan mobilization and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques, which are physical therapy methods used in the treatment of neck pain, in the light of the existing literature and to provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical applications. Literature analysis indicates that both Mulligan mobilization and PNF techniques increase range of motion (ROM), reduce pain, and enhance functional performance. Additionally, these methods improve muscle strength, endurance, coordination, and proprioceptive control, thereby contributing to greater functional capacity. Although both techniques have been found effective in the management of neck pain, they appear to operate through different mechanisms of action. Further high-quality studies are needed to compare the long-term effects of these interventions.
