Summary
This study tests whether a specific set of exercises (called symmetrical scapula-pelvis patterns) can reduce pain and improve movement in people with chronic neck pain and tight hamstrings. 156 adults aged 18-40 will be split into two groups: one doing the new exercises, the other doing standard stretching and a muscle relaxation technique. Researchers will measure pain, neck movement, and flexibility over six weeks.
