days. The total number of patients included in the study was 60 and they were of both sexes. Separation of
patients in both groups (A and B) was done randomly. Group A was treated with: Thermotherapy,
electrotherapy , dynamic exercises for the muscles of the cervical region against gravity, stretching and
deep transverse massage, while group B was treated with: Thermotherapy, electrotherapy, isometric

rating scale of pain. Evaluation of patients was done before and after ten days of treatment. Results:
According to our results, we found significant improvement in group A regarding the mobility, pain and
function. According to our results, the dynamic exercises combined with deep transversal massage are
more effective than isometric exercises. Conclusion: This study confirms the hypothesis that short-term
