Brief Summary:
The goal of this observational study is to determine whether relaxation exercises performed before cranio-cervical flexion can reduce superficial neck muscle activation (specifically sternocleidomastoid and upper trapezius) in individuals with neck pain.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does performing relaxation exercises prior to cranio-cervical flexion reduce sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle activation?
* Does it reduce upper trapezius muscle activation during the standing?
Researchers will compare the group performing relaxation exercises before cranio-cervical flexion to the group performing only cranio-cervical flexion to see if there is a measurable difference in superficial neck muscle activation.
Participants will:
* Perform cranio-cervical flexion exercises.
* Perform relaxation exercises prior to the cranio-cervical flexion (intervention group only).
* Undergo surface EMG measurements to assess muscle activity.
