Clinical Trial Summary

There is a limited data available on the effectiveness of thoracic mobility exercises in chronic neck pain and there is a need to determine these exercises in chronic neck pain because chronic neck pain has significant effects on the surrounding muscles of the neck and cervical spine and along with the muscles of shoulder and arm. So the mobility exercises of any region around the neck area can reduce neck pain because these structures are interlinked anatomically and functionally aspects.
