This page is part of the 'Manual Therapy & Exercise for Neck Pain: Clinical Treatment Tool-kit' resource for clinical decision making, which provides evidence, techniques, and dosages for the use of manual therapy and exercise in the treatment of neck pain. Please see the main project page for further information, or to return to Step 1 to identify your patient. Otherwise, proceed to Step 2 below to determine the evidence.

Step 2: Determine the evidence[edit | edit source]

NeckPainToolkit Step2 Logo.png

  • The evidence regarding the use of manual therapy and exercise for the treatment of neck pain is presented below, organized by patient characteristics
  • Once you have found the evidence most applicable to your patient, click on ‘Step 3-inform your technique’ to see the techniques utilized in the positive studies for that patient population
