Brief summary (from the registry)
In reviews about manual therapy in children, mild, low-speed spinal mobilizations are emphasized as a safe treatment technique in infants, children and adolescents and have been used in clinics for years. Practices such as manipulation and manual therapy should adjust the force and speed used by the specialist practitioner in accordance with the age and developmental level of the child. Studies have emphasized that massage is an effective method in the treatment of chronic pain for children and adolescents. Significantly low pain and positive mood have been reported by children after these manual therapy sessions. Accordingly, the aim of the planned study is to compare the effects of graston technique and classical massage in children with chronic neck pain.
