Neck Exercises for Office Workers: Building Strength and Function
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether specific neck mobilization techniques (gentle movements and stretches) can improve neck strength and function in desk workers. You would be a healthy control participant to help researchers understand how these techniques work in people without existing neck pain.
