Study Description

Patients with chronic neck pain will be participated in this comparative study.

They will be divided into 2 groups:

Group (A) will be consisted of 30 patients who will receive conventional physiotherapy treatment for chronic neck pain plus breathing exercise (diaphragmatic and pursed lip breathing) (Three sessions per week for 6 weeks) Group (B) will be consisted of 30 patients who will receive conventional physiotherapy treatment for chronic neck pain plus Doming of the diaphragm (Three sessions per week for 6 weeks)

Pulmonary functions and neck endurance will be assessed for all patients in both groups before the first session and after the last session
