Neck pain is common in the adult general population, disabling and costly Lifetime, which constituted a great problem facing the mother during breast feeding period. The studies showed that poor knowledge and wrong position for breastfeeding influence their own health as well as baby's health. Stretching exercises are one of the manual physical therapy methods that can be used in the treatment of mechanical neck pain) Muscle energy techniques (MET) were originally developed to treat soft tissue, mobilize joints, stretch tight muscles and fascia, reduce pain and to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage. This study aims at applying stretching along with MET technique (post isometric relaxation) to see the combined effect of these two techniques and comparing that group with another one that is only applied stretching and baseline treatment. A randomized clinical trial will be undertaken. Non probability convenient sampling will be used. Forty-six patients with neck pain and muscular spasm will be randomly allocated. Twenty-three participants will be allocated with lottery method in each group. The former group will receive Stretching with MET (post isometric relaxation), and the latter group will receive static stretching only. Both groups will also receive baseline therapy. Treatment will be given once a day daily for 14 days. A visual analogue scale (VAS) will be used to measure the intensity of pain and MMJ questionnaire for muscular spasm. Data will be collected before and at the end of treatment at the 14th day. To analyze data SPSS version 29 will be used.
