No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Manual therapy and exercise have shown to be beneficial for people with neck pain, however it is not clear how outcomes following a general exercise program compare to specific exercises intended to augment a specific manual/hands-on intervention. This study will compare outcomes following manual therapy and a specific exercise program with manual therapy and a general exercise program.
