Summary

This study investigates whether a specific manual therapy technique called Mulligan SNAG can improve postural stability (balance) in people with chronic neck pain and mobility problems. Participants will receive either conventional exercises alone or exercises plus the SNAG technique. The researchers will measure changes in balance, pain, neck movement, and fear of movement to see if adding SNAG provides extra benefits.
