Conditions

Chronic non-specific neck pain

Interventions

one:The upper trapezius muscle, levator scapulae muscle, sternocleidomastoid muscle, neck deep flexor muscle and neck extensor muscle of the subjects were intervened by muscle energy technique

two:Use of neck stability training: including the ball against the wall training, and neck flexion, left and right neck flexion, neck extension in the supine position, side position, prone position re

three:Combined training of muscle energy techniques and neck stability training
