Sponsor's own description

Non-specific neck pain (NS-NP) is the most prevailing musculoskeletal disorder (MSK) which has large socio-economic burden worldwide. It is associated with poor posture and neck strain which may lead to pain and restricted mobility. Post isometric relaxation a form of Muscle energy technique, that works on the principles of restoring biomechanics, reducing the movement restriction and pain. Myofascial release therapy will improve muscle immobility and pain by improving blood circulation lymphatic drainage and relaxing the contracted muscles. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Post-isometric relaxation Versus Myofascial release therapy on pain, range of motion, disability and quality of life in the management of non-specific neck pain.
