MCKENZIE EXERCISES VERSUS MULLIGAN MOBILIZATION IN TEXT NECK SYNDROME

"First of all conventional physical therapy is applied. For this we will use transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and hot pack, positioned over the neck region, for 15-20 minutes. This will help in improving blood flow and increasing muscle activation.~For McKenzie exercises, the participant will be in a comfortable sitting posture with proper back support. He will be asked to perform the following exercises:~1. Retraction in supine and sitting positions~2. Retraction with patient and therapist overpressure~3. Retraction with extension and rotation~4. Rotation with patient and therapist overpressure~5. Lateral flexion~6. Lateral flexion with patient and therapist overpressure • All these exercises will be done with a hold of one or two seconds and the movement is then repeated for five to six times."

This will help in improving blood flow and increasing muscle activation.~The Mulligan mobilization, the patient will be seated in a comfortable position on a chair and the therapist stood behind to perform the mulligan mobilization. A gliding force will be applied by the therapist on the patient's spinous process or on the facet joint of the superior vertebra of the target segment for treatment. This gliding force will be maintained by the therapist. Then the patient will move his head towards the painful side (flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral flexion), and more pressure will be applied by the patient at the end of active movement. The Mulligan mobilization will be repeated 10 times for 3 sets."
