Timepoint: After and before intervention session. Method of measurement: Anterior posterior muscle dimension (thickness) and tissue echogenicity that both will be measured by ultrasound machine SAMSUNG MEDISON - SONOACE R7 2014, made in Korea with a frequency of 7.5 and a linear probe in millimeters. Upper Cervical Range of Motion. Timepoint: After and before intervention session. Method of measurement: The rotational range of motion of the neck in the supine position will be measured with a Qoniometer (degree). Headache Index. Timepoint: First and 6th session. Method of measurement: Questionare (Niere,1997). Headache Disability. Timepoint: First and 6th session.
