Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of exercise and two different manual therapy methods on pain, quality of life and posture in people with neck pain.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Deep friction massage will use on cervical regions in first group, muscle energy technic will use second group and cervical stabilization exercise will use as an third group. For all groups, pain intensity, Quality of life and posture will assess.
