This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a hands-on physical therapy technique called Muscle Energy Technique (MET) can help people with long-lasting neck pain feel better and move their necks more freely. The therapist uses gentle muscle contractions followed by stretching to relax tight neck muscles. The study will measure whether this treatment reduces pain, improves neck movement, and helps people feel more confident moving their necks.
Many people suffer from chronic neck pain that limits their daily activities, and doctors need to find effective non-surgical treatments to help them. This trial exists to test whether this hands-on therapy technique can be a safe and practical way to relieve neck pain and restore normal function.

You will receive hands-on therapy sessions from a licensed physical therapist who will gently position your neck muscles at their resistance point, have you perform a light muscle contraction for a few seconds, then guide you into a stretch and hold it briefly. This sequence will be repeated several times for different neck muscles (such as your upper trapezius and neck flexors). The therapist will work with you to reduce your pain, improve your neck's range of motion, and help you feel more confident in your movements.
