Brief summary (from the registry)
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the immediate effects of cranio-cervical flexion exercises and correct posture training on upper extremity and trunk kinematics during functional activities in young adults with neck pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the immediate cranio-cervical flexion and posture training improve postural control and induce immediate changes in individuals with neck pain? * Does this training intervention enhance functional movement and daily activity performance from a kinematic analysis perspective? Participants will: Undergo a baseline assessment, where sociodemographic and physical data will be recorded using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the Neck Disability Index (NDI). Receive cranio-cervical flexion and correct posture training as an intervention, after which the evaluation will proceed immediately. Perform functional activities (typing, talking on the phone, eating, lifting a load), with each activity being repeated three times, and these will be evaluated using 3D kinematic analysis with the Movella XSens (MVN Awinda) system.
