Summary

Mechanical neck pain is a common musculoskeletal problem, worldwide. Patients with neck pain often have subjective complaints of muscle stiffness, tension, or tightness in addition to their pain located between the occiput and the third thoracic vertebra Approximately 68% of the total population has experienced neck pain at least once in their lifetime, and it easily transforms into a chronic state (that persists for more than 3 months). In today's society, this is conspicuous in many laborers due to the increased use of computers, where the neck and shoulders are maintained in static abnormal postures to look at the computer screens and become vulnerable to cause neck pain. The aim of the study is to determine the comparative effects of transverse thoracic mobilization with and without lower trapezius strengthening exercises on pain, disability and range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain.
