Detailed Description
The investigators study was planned as a randomized controlled study. Participants will be divided into 2 groups as conventional physiotherapy and Backup group by simple randomized method. Participants will be taken to a treatment program for 10 weeks, 3 days a week. Parameters such as pain, posture, sleep quality, quality of life, muscle shortening at the beginning and end of the study. The results will be analyzed statistically.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |

| Experimental: backup Physiotherapy applied with backup device |
Other: conventional physiotherapy
hotpack electrotherapy ultrasound exercises
Other: Backup therapy
The backup spine health device is in the form of a mat and provides segmental electrical stimulation to the spines. At the same time, the mat can heat up to 40 degrees during the treatment process. Backup spine health device is very effective in both reducing pain and strengthening the muscles with electrical stimulations by reaching even the deep muscles around the spine. Sessions consist of 30 minutes

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [12 weeks]
It is a 19-item self-report scale that evaluates sleep quality and impairment over the past month. It consists of 24 questions, 19 questions are self-report questions, 5 questions are questions to be answered by the spouse or roommate. The 18 scored questions of the scale consist of 7 components. Subjective Sleep Quality, Sleep Latency, Sleep Duration, Habitual Sleep Efficiency, Sleep Disorder, Sleeping Drug Use, and Daytime Dysfunction. Each component is evaluated over 0-3 points. The total score of the 7 components gives the scale total score. The total score ranges from 0 to 21. A total score greater than 5 indicates "poor sleep quality".
- World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Short Form [12 weeks]
The scale is a 26-item scale. Each section and area receives a maximum score of 20 points or 100 points. A high score indicates good quality of life.
