About

Neck pain is an important public health issue that affects the whole population. Consequently, there is a significant decrease in the quality of work and life and can have a negative socioeconomic impact on both individuals and society. For the treatment of pain in the spine and extremities, especially the neck, the McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy (MMDT) is a popular choice. Mulligan mobilization approach was found to be beneficial for both pain and functioning in individuals with mechanical neck discomfort.

Full description

Text Neck Syndrome, commonly referred to as turtle neck posture, is the fourth leading cause of disability globally. Different exercises and techniques have been implemented to manage it. Individually, there have been several studies conducted on McKenzie exercises and Mulligan mobilization. This study will provide valuable insights into the comparative effectiveness of McKenzie exercises and Mulligan mobilization for text neck syndrome. This study's findings will contribute to the development of evidence-based guidelines for managing TNS, enhancing clinical decision-making, and improving patient outcomes.
