    Background Chronic neck pain (CNP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders in this time that affects individuals’ daily life. Thus, different manual therapy techniques were used to manage CNP without consideration of all underlying structures. However a little literature is known about this subject. Objective This study aims to investigate the short and midterm effectiveness of suggested holistic approaches on patients with CNP. Methods Fifteen patients with CNP enrolled in one group. A ‎randomized controlled trial was adopted, and the experimental group underwent to Passive oriented manual kinesiotherapy techniques for two weeks. ‎The cervical spine range of motion, muscle strength, and muscle endurance were all ‎assessed. Neck Disability Index (NDI) as a primary functional outcome ‎measure. Visual analog scale, CAROM, and Modified Sphygmomanometer were used to study and ‎investigate the effect of the suggested program.‎ Result The suggested therapeutic intervention for the management of CNP leads to ‎significant improvement in the clinical, physical, and functional. Initially, the utilized ‎treatment methods led to fast improvements in clinical and physical aspects of neck ‎mobility at the end of each therapeutic session. the ‎rate of improvement gradually slowed down. The progressive passive to active ‎manual kinesiotherapy techniques found effective in reducing pain ‎intensity, increasing pain-free range of motion, and in improving muscle strength in neck mobility.‎ Conclusion: The hot packs, classical massage, Maitland mobilization, and active exercises, results in significant improvements of clinical, physical, and functional aspects among patients with chronic neck mobility.
