About

The superficial posterior line is one of the eight main fascial lines defined on the body. One of the important muscle groups on this line is the hamstring muscle group. Studies have shown that various stretching methods applied to the hamstring muscle group affect the cervical region both in terms of range of motion and posture. As a result of this study, it was shown that deep neck flexor endurance increased in women who applied the PNF hold-relax method.

Full description

The superficial posterior line is one of the eight main fascial lines defined on the body. One of the important muscle groups on this line is the hamstring muscle group. Studies have shown that various stretching methods applied to the hamstring muscle group affect the cervical region both in terms of range of motion and posture. Our aim in our study is to examine the effect of the proprioceptive neuromuscular stretching (PNF) method applied to the hamstring muscle group on the endura of the deep neck flexors based on these data.
