Immediate Effects of Mobilization With Movement Technique on Cervical Muscle Stiffness, Pain, and Range of Motion in Individuals With Mechanical Neck Pain: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Mulligan sustained natural apophyseal glide (SNAG) is a mobilization technique that aims to reduce pain and improve function by correcting positional errors in the facet joint.

Purpose: To investigate the immediate effects of the Mulligan SNAG application on muscle stiffness, pain, pressure pain threshold (PPT) and range of motion (RoM) in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain.

Methods: A randomized, double-blind trial was conducted.
