Introduction - Activities of Daily Livings (ADLs) involves several activities including sit to stand, walking, climbing, grooming, bathing, and many more where every component of human structure matters equally important. Physical inactivities will be one of the major factors to compromise physical activities and lead to functional disability and pain. One of the most common structures that get involved in human mechanics is the Neck and Shoulder. 75% of people in their life span observe neck pain and 85% are non-structural causes of pain and loss of function. Exercises, yoga and lifestyle modification remains the essential part to enhance structural stability and functional mobility. However, in situations where visiting physiotherapy clinics and wellness centers due to pandemics or any challenges in traveling outside the home or workstation, telephysiotherapy observes great scopes in management. Thus, we would like to find out the impact of telephysiotherapy to deliver â€œphysioyogaâ€ for people with neck pain.

Objective- 1) To assess the impact of Telephysiotherapy in delivering â€œphysioyogaâ€ for pain in Neck musculatures and improve the function.

Methodology- An interventional study where digital flyers will be circulated on social media to avail telephysiotherapy with â€œphysioyogaâ€ for functional disabilities and pain in the neck and shoulder. Volunteers will be selected based on selection criteria such as Neck Disability Index (NDI) Score - Greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 64 %, Age between 20 to 65 years, and no history of hospitalization in the last six months. Total 4 weeks of telephysiotherapy intervention where volunteers will be redistributed into mild, moderate, and severe groups according to Neck Disability Index Score. Participants will have 2 supervised sessions and 21 non-supervised sessions per week for 4 weeks of intervention and a minimum of 14 sessions per week to be eligible for statistical analysis. Based on the severity and subject-specific Physioyoga will be prescribed to Participants and assessed every week (end of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th week) for changes in Neck Disability index and Numerical pain rating scale.

Statistical Analysis -Descriptive and frequency analysis will be done to identify demographic data and homogeneity of the sample. Data distribution will be a key element to decide the statistical tests. Statistical Tests will be used for changes and association within and between the groups for Score Neck Disability Index and Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Level of Significance (LOS) will be set to 0.05 and Confidence Interval (CI) at 95%.
