About this trial
When performing desk work, individuals adopt a relaxed posture and the most common musculoskeletal complaints among desk workers are neck pain, shoulder pain and lower back pain. Pilates is an exercise method in which muscles are exercised both statically and dynamically. This study is a randomized controlled trial in which a minimum of 30 female office workers working at Fırat University Faculty of Health Sciences will participate. After the participants are determined, they will be randomly divided into two groups. The study group will be given pilates training 2 days a week in addition to desk exercises; the control group will only be given desk exercises. Pain, posture and burnout will be assessed.

New york posture scale
The general body posture of the patients will be evaluated with the New York Posture Rating Scale (NYPRS). NYPD was developed to evaluate the correct and incorrect alignment of various body parts in anatomical position. NYPD is a scale that allows the assessment of possible posture disorders that may occur in 13 body parts including head, neck, shoulders, waist and back, hips, knees and ankles through pictures. Within the scope of the study, one of the 3 options suitable for the patient from the 13 body parts is determined by the physiotherapist. The evaluation is completed by giving 5 points if the patient is in normal posture, 3 points if there is a moderate deterioration, and 1 point if there is a serious deterioration in posture. The results of the evaluation range between 13-65 points, with a high score indicating correct posture
