Brief Summary

Neck pain is a frequent and disabling complaint in the general population. One of the most common causes of neck pain is mechanical dysfunction of the cervical spine. Although diverse methods have been proposed for increasing cervical range of motion (ROM), joint mobilization has been confirmed as effective in several studies. Typically, joint mobilization methods for increasing cervical ROM include spinal manipulative therapy, the activator and diversified techniques. There are different mobilization techniques for neck pain, and mulligan's technique is one of them. It has two techniques Sustain Natural Apophyseal Glides (snags) and Natural Apophyseal Glides (nags). Gong's mobilization technique helps to heal physical pain as well as distract the mind from stress. In this study, the effectiveness of gong's mobilization and Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (snags) will be compared in office workers who have problems with cervical posture and range of motion (ROM) in order to examine the effects of gong's mobilization on cervical pain and cervical ROM. Twenty office workers with problems of cervical posture, pain and ROM is divided into a gong's mobilization group (n=10) and a Snags group (n=10). Gong's mobilization and nags will be administered three times a week for four weeks to each respective group and then changes in cervical posture, pain and cervical ROM will be evaluated.
