The Patients don't know which Group they will be in, Then the Subjects will be divided into Three Groups of 14 people: The First Group will receive Scapular Stabilization Exercises with Abdominal Feedback, the Second Group will receive Neck Stabilization Exercises, and the Third Group will be the Control Group. They will not receive any Sports Intervention. Because the Execution of the Exercises will be under the Supervision of the Examiner, the Examiner will not be Blind, but the Data Analyst and Statistician will not have any Information about the Grouping of the Subjects, Blinding description: In this Study, because the Exercises will be under the Supervision of the Examiner, the Examiner won't be Blind, but the Data Analyst and Statistician won't have any Information about the Grouping of the Subjects.</study_design>
