Brief summary: This study aims to determine the effect of McKenzie exercises with and without Sustained Natural Apophyseal glide on pain, disability, and craniocervical angle in adults with Text neck syndrome.

Detailed description: Text neck syndrome is a condition that results from the repetitive use of electronic devices, causing the neck to flex forward or down for extended periods. This can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, reduced range of motion, weakened muscles, altered joint position, and postural changes such as forward head posture and rounded shoulders.

In this randomized clinical trial, forty eight participants with text neck syndrome will be randomly assigned to one of the two intervention groups:

Group A :McKenzie Exercises without Mulligan mobilization and Group B:McKenzie Exercises with Mulligan mobilization . Randomization will be performed using a convenient random sampling method via sealed opaque envelopes. Each participant will receive a total of eight treatment sessions over a four-week period. The efficacy of the interventions will be assessed at the beginning (first session), conclusion (eight session). Outcome measures, including pain intensity, disability levels and craniocervical angle will be evaluated using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Image J software, respectively. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 26. Normality of data will be assessed using the Kolmogorov Smirnov test. For within-group comparisons, either repeated measures ANOVA or the Friedman test will be used. To compare changes between the groups, the independent t-test or Mann-Whitney U test will be applied, depending on the data distribution. The analysis of these outcome measures will provide valuable insights into the impact of the interventions on participants' symptoms and postural alignment.
