Summary

The aim of this research is to compare the effects of post isometric relaxation and graston technique in mechanical neck pain. Post isometric relaxation and graston effects on pain , cervical range of motion and function. A randomized controlled trial was done at Max health hospital G-8 markaz Islamabad . The sample size was 20. The Participants were divided into two groups,10 participants in group A (post iso metric relaxation) and 10 in group B (Graston technique ) . The study duration was 6 months. Sampling technique applied was purposive sampling technique Randomized through sealed enveloped method . Only 18 to 50 years participants with mechanical neck pain were included in the study . Outcome measure Tools used in this study were Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) ,inclinometer for cervical ROM, Algometer for pain pressure threshold and Neck disability index for assessing functional disability . Data analyzed through SPSS version 20.
