Summary
This study tested whether a single session of radial shock wave therapy combined with either stretching or isometric contraction could immediately reduce muscle tightness and stiffness in the upper neck. Thirty healthy adults with no recent neck pain participated. Researchers measured muscle properties and grip strength before and right after treatment. The goal was to see if early intervention could prevent future muscle problems.
