home-based exercise groups
physiotherapists-led groups
home-based follow up groups
home exercise brochures were given to the home-based exercise groups according to their diagnosis at the end of the treatment. Then, all patients were called to the hospital for control after three months and the scale prepared by us and consisting of a total of 5 (five) questions was directed to the patients and it was determined how the exercises given were performed. Five different exercises were given to patients with low back and neck pain who participated in our study. The patients were asked to do these exercises 3 times a day for 10 repetitions. Cat-camel exercises, lumbar stretching, sit-ups, bridge building and back extensor strengthening exercises were given to patients with low back pain. For patients with neck pain, neck flexion-extension, neck lateral flexion, neck rotation, shoulder capsule stretching and shoulder flexion exercises were given.
The group involved in physiotherapists-led groups was shown the exercises in practice and under the supervision of the physiotherapist, the patients applied their exercises throughout their treatment. Then, all patients were called to the hospital for control after three months and the scale prepared by us and consisting of a total of 5 (five) questions was directed to the patients and it was determined how the exercises given were performed.

For patients with neck pain, neck flexion-extension, neck lateral flexion, neck rotation, shoulder capsule stretching and shoulder flexion exercises were given.
Home-based follow up groups, after the exercise training was given to the patients with a physiotherapist, daily text messages (SMS) were sent to the patients and the patients were reminded to do the exercises.
