Summary

This study looked at whether combining two types of exercises (Kendall and scapulothoracic) can reduce neck pain and improve movement in people with chronic non-specific neck pain. Sixty adults aged 25-50 with neck pain for at least 3 months took part. Researchers measured nerve sensitivity, neck motion, and daily function before and after treatment to see if the combined exercises worked better than standard care.
