Summary
This study tested two physical therapy techniques—myofascial release (MFR) and positional release technique (PRT)—in 30 young adults with one-sided neck pain from trapezitis. Both methods, combined with simple neck exercises, reduced pain and improved movement over two months. PRT gave faster relief, making it a good first choice when quick symptom easing is needed.
