Summary
This study tested whether adding gentle spinal mobilization to a home exercise program could reduce neck pain and improve fitness in recreational tennis players. Thirty adults with mechanical neck pain were split into two groups: one did only home exercises for three weeks, and the other did the same exercises plus four sessions of spinal mobilization. Researchers measured pain, neck movement, strength, and other fitness factors before and after the program.
