Summary

This study tested two hands-on techniques—rib mobilization and diaphragm release—in 100 adults with non-specific neck pain. The goal was to see if improving ribcage and diaphragm movement could reduce pain and increase neck mobility. Participants received these manual therapies, and their pain levels and range of motion were measured before and after treatment.
