Summary

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

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.

Conditions

• Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Group A:Thoracic thrust	Group A will receive manipulation protocol as addition to standard treatment. Manipulation protocol: High velocity, low amplitude as described by Maitland on thoracic hypomobile segments (T1-6) Therapeutic exercise protocol: Cervical and thoracic mobility exercises.
PROCEDURE	Group B: Cervical non thrust mobilization	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.
