Brief Summary

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

This study is a randomised controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of thoracic thrust with cervical non-thrust mobilization in mechanical neck pain on components such as pain, thoracic range of motion, kyphotic angle, craniovertebral angle and proprioception.

Detailed Description

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

Particiapants will be divided into two groups through coin toss method, one group will recieve thoracic manipulation as addition to cervical mobilization and therapeutic exercises.

Intervention:

Group B will receive mobilization, post-facilitation stretch and exercise protocol.

Mobilization protocol:

Grade III or IV mobilization as described by Maitland on cervical Hypomobile segments (C2-7)

Therapeutic exercise protocol:

Cervical and thoracic mobility exercises.
