Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cervical Pain. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention, post reading was taken after 2 weeks and Follow up reading was measured 4 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Cervical pain of each individual was measured by using Visual analogue scale (VAS).;Cervical range of motion - Side bending and Lateral rotation. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention, post reading was taken after 2 weeks and Follow up reading was measured 4 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Cervical range of motion of side bending and rotation was measured using a Goniometer.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
eck disability. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention, post reading was taken after 2 weeks and Follow up reading was measured 4 weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: Neck disability of each individual was calculated using Neck Disability Index (NDI).
