Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: experimental neck isometric exercises will be administered at for 4 weeks and will be evaluuated at baseline, 2nd and after 4 weeks of interventions	Other: Isometric exercises These exercises are used to increase muscle endurance, power and ROM
Active Comparator: control cervical mobilization will be administered at for 4 weeks and will be evaluuated at baseline, 2nd and after 4 weeks of interventions	Other: Mobilization These exercises are used to increase ROM and used for pain reduction

Arm

Intervention/Treatment

Experimental: experimental

neck isometric exercises will be administered at for 4 weeks and will be evaluuated at baseline, 2nd and after 4 weeks of interventions

Other: Isometric exercises

These exercises are used to increase muscle endurance, power and ROM

Active Comparator: control

cervical mobilization will be administered at for 4 weeks and will be evaluuated at baseline, 2nd and after 4 weeks of interventions

Other: Mobilization

These exercises are used to increase ROM and used for pain reduction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Numeric Pain Rating Scale [4 weeks]
0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain ever
Range of motion [4 weeks]
Goniometer will be used to assess the ranges. lower values means more limited ROM and more values means normal
