Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of an intervention plan targeting the diaphragm namely stretching technique neuromuscular diaphragm and phrenic centre inhibition in the treatment of chronic non-specific neck pain
Detailed Description: Chronic neck pain is defined as pain and discomfort between the superior nuchal line and the spinous process of the first thoracic vertebra which may radiate to the scapula anterior chest wall skull or upper limbs It is classified as chronic if the pain persists for more than 12 weeks Associated symptoms include headache dizziness and pain or paresthesia in the upper limbs These symptoms interfere with daily life and have a negative impact on physical and mental health

The aetiology of this pathology is multifactorial and the triggering factors may vary due to the close relationship that the cervical spine has with other structures namely the diaphragm muscle

Our aim is to verify the effectiveness of an osteopathic treatment protocol targeting the diaphragm in chronic non-specific neck pain in young adults Specifically to analyse whether the mechanical fascial and neural pathways established by the defined manual techniques namely stretching techniques neuromuscular inhibition of the diaphragm and the phrenic centre have any effect on active movements rotations and inclinations and chronic neck pain

This study will analyse the effects of diaphragmatic techniques on the following variables Numerical Pain Scale and Goniometer Pro G-pro
