Additional mobilization to PT further improves pain and function versus PT alone for neck pain
J Bodyw Mov Ther. 2018 Jan;22(1):24-31

68 patients with chronic, mechanical neck pain were randomized to standard physiotherapy with or without the addition of cervical mobilization intervention. All patients attended at total of 10 sessions over a 4-week period, with additional home exercises to be completed daily.

Results demonstrated significantly greater improvement in each outcome in the physiotherapy plus mobilization group compared to the physiotherapy alone group.
