Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition, Muscle Energy and Strain Counter Strain Techniques in Neck Pain

Effect of Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition, Muscle Energy and Strain Counter Strain Techniques in the Management of Mechanical Neck Pain.

1. To determine effects of Neuromuscular Inhibition, Muscle energy and strain counter strain techniques on Pain, disability, pain pressure threshold, range of motion, and health-related quality of life in mechanical neck pain.
2. To compare the effects of Integrated Neuromuscular inhibition, Muscle energy and strain counter strain techniques in the Management of mechanical neck pain.
