Deep Cervical Flexor and Sensorimotor Training for Chronic Neck Pain

"deep cervical flexor muscle training will be performed according to the protocol of Jull and Falla using a pressure biofeedback unit. Participants will be positioned in a supine crook-lying posture with the neck in a neutral position, and the air bag of the pressure biofeedback unit will be placed beneath the cervical lordosis and inflated to a baseline of 20 mmHg. Patients will be instructed to perform a gentle nodding action, increasing the pressure by 2 mmHg increments up to 30 mmHg. Each increment will be held for ten seconds, repeated in three sets of ten repetitions, with a two-minute rest between sets. To enhance activation of the deep flexors, patients will be instructed to keep their mouth open during the exercise.~Proprioception training will include head relocation practice, oculomotor exercises, and eye-head coordination exercises."

"will include stretching exercises targeting the sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius, levator scapulae, scalene, Rhomboids and pectoralis muscles, performed in three repetitions, holding each stretch for thirty seconds, strengthening exercises will be provided Isometrically for the cervical flexors, extensors and at sides using a prescription of three sets of ten repetitions with a ten-second hold and two minutes of rest between sets.~TENS and Hot back."
