Active exercises will consist of four cervical movements involving the maintenance of craniocervical flexion, and all of these exercises will be performed in a single session. The program will continue for six weeks. This intervention involves supervised therapeutic and clinical exercises performed actively by the participant. No specialized medical devices, mechanical resistance machines, or drugs are used during the exercise sessions.

Motor imagery exercises are structured in three stages.
