The intervention consisted of clinical Pilates exercises conducted twice weekly over a period of eight weeks under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Cervical and glenohumeral joint range of motion were assessed with a standard goniometer. Scapular dyskinesia was evaluated using the Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST).Results: Following the intervention, a statistically significant reduction in pain intensity was observed (p KW - Chronic pain KW - dyskinesia KW - pilates exercises KW - scapular stability N2 - Amaç: Bu çalışma, klinik Pilatesin kronik boyun ve omuz ağrısı olan hastalarda ağrı, eklem hareket açıklığı ve skapular diskinezi üzerindeki etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya kronik boyun ve omuz ağrısı olan yirmi sekiz birey dahil edildi. Katılımcılar, 8 hafta boyunca haftada iki kez bir fizyoterapist gözetiminde klinik Pilates seanslarına katıldı. Ağrı şiddeti, Görsel Analog Skala (VAS) kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Servikal hareket açıklığı (ROM) ve glenohumeral ROM bir gonyometre kullanılarak ölçüldü. Skapular diskinezi, Lateral Skapular Kayma Testi (LSST) ile değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Klinik Pilates, ağrı şiddetini önemli ölçüde azaltmış ve tüm yönlerde servikal ROM'u artırmıştır (p CR - Atılgan, E., Aytar, A., Çağlar, A., Tığlı, A.
