Summary

This study will be conducted to identify the difference between the effect of of cervicothoracic junction mobilization and autogenic Muscle Energy Technique. on neck pain, cervical range of motion, cervical proprioception and neck disability in mechanical neck pain patients with cervicothoracic junction hypomobility.

Conditions

  • Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

cervicothoracic junction mobilization in form of Maitland mobilization

Group A: will receive cervicothoracic junction mobilization mobilization in form of Maitland mobilization to the C7-T1 level, according to their primary movement restriction (for flexion-extension restriction- central PA glide, for rotation restrictions (unilateral PA glide) for 3 sessions/week over 4 weeks periods.

OTHER

autogenic muscle Energy Technique

the technique will applied to neck muscles that are prone to get short including anterior, middle and posterior Scaleni, Sternocleidomastoid, Levator Scapulae and upper fibers of the Trapezius muscle. The AI MET group will given 3-5 repetitions of post isometric relaxation (PIR) (30-50% isometric contraction of the muscle to be stretched for 7-10 seconds, followed by rest period of 5 seconds and then a stretch of 10-60 seconds hold

OTHER

conventional physical therapy

conventional physical therapy only in form of: (superficial heat using hot pack for 10 minutes , Isometric Neck Exercises and Dynamic Neck Exercises)) for 3 sessions/week over 4 weeks periods
