Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Neck Isometrics Exercises	Isometric exercises are tightening (contractions) of a specific muscle or group of muscles. During isometric exercises, the muscle doesn't noticeably change length. The affected joint also doesn't move. Isometric exercises help maintain strength.
OTHER	Global Posture Re-Education	Global postural rehabilitation (GPR) is an approach that considers the body in its overall aspect. This technique aims to relax the envelope of the muscles (fascia) while relaxing the muscle chains to reduce the strain on the joints. The end result is a more suitable posture and less pain.
