A comparison of two cervical manipulation techniques in patients with restricted neck movement and neck pain.

A comparison of two different low velocity cervical (neck) stretching (mobilization) techniques Participants will receive one or the other stretching technique. A coin toss will determine which technique will be applied to the first participant, then the technique will be alternated. Both techniques rotate the C7 motion segment first to the left and then to the right. In essence the first technique applies a stretching force to both the left and right side joints of the C7 vertebrae and the second technique stretches the joints on just one side of the C7 vertebrae. Once the participant receives the stretch once that will end their participation in the study. A single PT, myself, will administer both stretching techniques. quasi-randomised controlled trial Single administration of once for left rotation and once for right. 10 second stretch applied three times
