Brief Summary   Mechanical neck pain (NP) is defined as the pain in the area of neck and/or neck-shoulder with neck pain that could be provoked by mechanical characteristics including sustained neck postures, or by cervical movements, or by manual palpation of cervical muscle. There are studies that have individually explored the role of IASTM, thoracic manipulation and pressure biofeedback and have found them to be effective in decreasing neck pain, improving neck ROM, neck functions, life quality, and muscle endurance in mechanical neck pain However, till date no study has explored the combined effectiveness of IASTM, thoracic manipulation and pressure biofeedback in mechanical neck pain. Therefore, the current study will be done to explore the combined effectiveness of IASTM, thoracic manipulation and pressure biofeedback in mechanical neck pain.
