Summary

This study tested two non-invasive therapies—Bowen therapy and myofascial release—for chronic mechanical neck pain in 36 bankers aged 25-40 who work at computers. The goal was to see which method better reduces pain and improves neck movement and daily function. Results will help guide simple, drug-free treatment choices for office workers.
