The aim of this study is to determine the effects of scapular stabilization program on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with chronic non- specific neck pain. This study will be a randomized controlled trial and 28 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. they will be allocated into 2 groups using non- probability purposive sampling technique. Experimental group will receive relaxation exercises for the cervico-scapular region combined with SSP(scapular stabilization program). The Control group will receive relaxation exercises only. Outcome measure: Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Goniometer, and Neck Disability Index will measure pain, range of motion, and disability. The experimental group will receive a total of 45 minutes sessions, thrice a week on alternate days for 3 weeks. The Control group will receive relaxation exercises in cervico-scapular region including neck stretches, stretches of scapular muscles, and myofascial release 3 times a week for 3 weeks on alternate days.
