The patients were divided into 3 randomized groups: control group (n=15), Instrument-Assisted Soft tissue Mobilization (EDYDM) group (n=15) and on Occipital nerve TENS (OTES) group(n=15).Each group was given home exercise to their treatment. Home exercises applied 1 time per day for 5 weeks. Each exercise in the exercise program was performed with 10 repetitions
