Brief summary
Comparison of Effectiveness of Alexander Technique Versus Feldenkrais Technique in Non - Specific Neck Pain Patients
Detailed description
The proposed synopsis aims to compare the effectiveness of Alexander Technique nd Feldenkrais Technique in alleviating non spicific neck pain. Both AT and FT are somatic education methods focusing on improving body awareness and movement patterns. The study will involve non - specificc neck pain paytients randomly assigned to either AT Or FT intervention groups Outcome measures will include pain intensity, posture, functional ability and quality of sleep. Data will be collected at baseline, post - interventrion and on follow up to assess the short term and long term effects. Statistical analysis will be conducted to determine differences in outcomes between the two groups. Understanding the comparitive effectiveness of AT and FT could provide valuable insights for healthcare professionals in choosing appropriate intervention for non - specific neck pain patients management.
