Sponsor's own description

Neck pain is becoming increasingly common throughout the world with a considerable impact on individuals, communities, health-care systems and businesses (Hoy et al, 2011).Neck pain is a common problem within our society affecting individual's physical and social functioning considerably and interfering with the patient's daily activities. There is lack of evidence to allow conclusions to be drawn about the effectiveness of MET when compared with stretching exercises for relieving mechanical neck pain. Therefore, this study is designed to examine the effect of MET, static stretching and to compare their effects on pain intensity and functional disability in patient with mechanical neck pain.
