Pain Neuroscience Education
Biomedical Pain Education
Pain Neuroscience Education; Four sessions of education will be applied. The neurophysiology of pain and the ability of the nervous system to modulate the experience of pain will be explained to the patient. Standard Physiotherapy Program; Soft tissue mobilization will be applied to the upper extremity twice a week for 6 weeks. Upper extremity exercises including breathing, warming, stretching and strengthening will be performed twice a week for 6 weeks.
Biomedical Pain Education; 4 sessions of education will be applied in 6 weeks. Pain will be explained to the patient from a biological point of view. Standard Physiotherapy Program; Soft tissue mobilization will be applied to the upper extremity twice a week for 6 weeks. Upper extremity exercises including breathing, warming, stretching and strengthening will be performed twice a week for 6 weeks.
