INTERVENTIONAL
Summary
This study is a randomised controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of thoracic thrust with cervical non-thrust mobilization in mechanical neck pain on components such as pain, thoracic range of motion, kyphotic angle, craniovertebral angle and proprioception.

Interventions
Group A will receive manipulation protocol as addition to standard treatment. Manipulation protocol: High velocity, low amplitude as described by Maitland on thoracic hypomobile segments (T1-6) Therapeutic exercise protocol: Cervical and thoracic mobility exercises.
Intervention: Group B will receive mobilization, post-facilitation stretch and exercise protocol. Mobilization protocol: Grade III or IV mobilization as described by Maitland on cervical Hypomobile segments (C2-7) Therapeutic exercise protocol: Cervical and thoracic mobility exercises.
