The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Pilates compared with Cognitive Functional Therapy in adults with chronic neck pain.
Firstly, people being informed about the study and those who determine eligibility criteria they written informer consent. After this, the participants will be randomized by a single-blind assessor in a 1:1 ration to pilates exercises and cognitive functional therapy. The participants of both groups will receive therapy twice a week for eight weeks.

The application of pilates aims to correct real-time deviations observed in the body during movement, to maintain stability, to maintain stability, to gradually form proper sensorimotor ability and improve cervical dysfunction. Pilates is an important part but also a primary point in the stages of rehabilitation, since through it the execution of movement is encouraged earlier thus providing help for the later stages of rehabilitation. Pilates exercises concern movements at all levels of body movement and in various positions.
Cognitive component: Educating patients about their perceptions of pain, explaining diagnosis and diagnostic findings, answering questions about their problem and symptoms, progressively challenge their customers in a non-judgmental way, education for multifactorial and biopsychosocial spectrum of pain, encouraging participants to movement and for active participation in daily activities, if receiving a self-management plan participation in activities with a degree of difficulty 2-3/10, tips for more effective sleep Specific functional training: Understanding pain modification through relaxation exercises, awareness and body control, modified body positions for better control of the cervical spine with parallel relaxation of the thoracic spine to participate in fearful or painful activities, engaging in movements of daily activities Lifestyle changes: Gradual increase in physical activity based on patient preferences, stress management and social interaction
