For workers with persistent neck and shoulder pain , evidence supports mixed supervised and unsupervised high-intensity strength training or advice alone ( grade s I-III NAD ) .
A multimodal approach including manual therapy , self-management advice , and exercise is an effective treatment strategy for both recent-onset and persistent neck pain
OBJECTIVE The objective was to develop a clinical practice guideline on the management of neck pain-associated disorders ( NADs ) and whiplash-associated disorders ( WADs ) .
This guideline replaces 2 prior chiropractic guidelines on NADs and WADs .
Does work-site physical activity improve self-reported psychosocial workplace factors and job satisfaction? A randomized controlled intervention study
Purpose To investigate whether a work-site strength-training program has a positive effect on self-reported psychosocial workplace factors and job satisfaction . Methods We conducted a r and omized controlled trial among laboratory technicians implementing neck and shoulder exercises for pain relief , with 199 participants in the training group and 228 in the control group  . Influence at work , sense of community , time pressure , and job satisfaction were measured with the Copenhagen Psychosocial Question naire at baseline and post-intervention after 20 weeks . Results There was no statistically significant change in any of the four variables in the training group from baseline to follow-up ( all p ≥ 0.39 ) . When we used MANOVA to test for between-group effects over time , we did not find any statistically significant result ( all p > 0.14 ) . Conclusions This study does not provide evidence for an effect of a work-site strength-training program on self-reported psychosocial workplace factors and job satisfaction
