Brief Summary
|
Effectiveness of McKenzie exercises and kinetic control training versus McKenzie exercises and stabilization exercises on pain, forward head posture, cervical range of motion and disability in patients with nonspecific neck pain. This technique helps reduce pain from forward head posture and improve range of motion and disability in patients with non-specific neck pain.
