Details and patient eligibility

About

When the literature is examined, although it is known that the suboccipital muscles are rich in proprioceptive receptors and have significant effects on balance, the effects of myofascial and neural relaxation of the suboccipital muscles on balance and proprioception are not fully understood. In this study, the investigators aim to examine the immediate effects of the SMV technique on balance and proprioception in young adults. With this study, by revealing the effects of the SMV technique on balance and proprioception, a different treatment option will be offered to clinicians working in the field of physical therapy and rehabilitation and interested in the rehabilitation of patients who may have balance and proprioception problems. It will also provide insight to academics working in this field in terms of the applicability of this technique among different patient groups.
