Background: The neck pain is a common cause of disability and health problem in the general population. It can be caused by the stress over the musculoskeletal system due to postural disorders and may also be associated with other causes such as inter vertebral disc herniation, nerve compression, or fracture.According to reports, the prevalence of neck pain ranges from 43% to 66.7% and rises with age. Aims & Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of two different techniques in improving non-specific neck pain, ROM and disability in patient with non-specific neck pain. Methodology: 30 Patients of non-specific neck pain were selected and the NDI Questionnaire were filled by patients for neck disability , pain Measured by VAS scale and range of motion measured by universal goniometer prior to the informed consent were asked to be filled by a patient . Then the subjects were divided into two groups. Mulligan mobilization technique were given to group A and isometric exercises were performed by patient itself in Group B for two weeks and the post assessment were taken and then data analyzed. Result The significant value is set up at P< 0.005. The values obtained from our study indicates that the result is significant and Group B have better effect than Group A that means isometric exercises are more effective than mulligan mobilization techniques in non-specific neck pain. Conclusion:From the result we obtained that the isometric exercises is more effective than mulligan mobilization technique in non-specific neck pain.
