Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive Functional Therapy

Cognitive functional therapy (CFT) is a novel intergraded behavioral approach for individualizing the management of spinal pain, targeting the bio-psycho-social factors of rehabilitation, and enabling the patient to self-manage the condition. CFT lies within the broad spectrum of the biopsychosocial approach for the management of spinal pain. CFT uses a multidimensional clinical reasoning framework with aim to enable the clinician to identify modifiable components of the condition, evaluate patients' behavioral responses to pain, and compose and drive a tailored rehabilitation program mainly based on self-management. The intervention is comprised by the interplay on "making sense of pain", "exposure with control", and "lifestyle change".

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional Therapy

Each individual session involve a combination of pain management with electrotherapy, massage and relaxation techniques. Also include some posture exercise these will be targeted on body alignment to the neutral position, and strengthening the whole neck area. strengthening program will be include isometrics on all cervical movements with a band which progressively increase the resistance of the band by change it and process to exercise against the band resistant. The relaxation/mindfulness component will take place at the end of each class and will involve breathing and relaxation of the body.
