Group I was given integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and Group II was given Bowen technique. Evaluation of the subjects was done using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Neck disability index scale (NDI).

Results: Data analysis revealed statistically significant difference between both groups and proved that integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique was more effective than Bowen technique in Mechanical neck pain.
