        abstract = {BACKGROUND: Neck is the most mobile region in human body. Mechanical neck pain is a condition that includes minor strain/sprain in the muscles, ligaments or facet joint dysfunction. The reported neck pain prevalence is around [15%] which is higher in females as compared to males. It causes the limitation of cervical range of motion in all directions.
OBJECTIVE: To find out the effectiveness of SNAGs with MET on reduction of pain, restore the ROM and functional ability in the individuals with mechanical neck pain.
METHODOLOGY: 30 Subjects with mechanical neck pain are taken into consideration. The subjects are selected by the proper screening and fulfilling the inclusive and exclusive criteria and are taken for experimental study. The subjects received SNAGs with MET for a session of 2 weeks with Ultrasound Therapy. Pre and Post test were analyzed based on the outcome measures i.e. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Goniometer and Neck disability index (NDI).
RESULT: The statistical analysis shows that SNAGs with MET is effective in mechanical neck pain.
CONCULSION: The study concludes that SNAGs with MET as more effective in reduction of pain and restore the cervical ROM and functional ability in neck.},
