Brief Summary
Work had to be done previously on METs and MCTE techniques, but no study has compared both techniques together to make it more comprehensible. The rationale of this will be to find out the combined effect of motor control therapeutic exercises and muscle energy technique for the treatment of pain, range of motion and disability associated with mechanical neck pain. This study will be effective for the clinicians to treat patients of mechanical neck pain.
