Background: Non-specific neck pain is defined as posterolateral cervical pain without structural pathology and underlying disease. Individuals with Non-specific neck pain often suffer from pain, restriction of cervical joint, rang of motion, limited functional activity, participation, restrictions and reduced quality of life.

Purpose: Screening the effects of stretching exercises with and without Graston technique on pain and disability in Non-specific neck pain.

Methodology: Fourteen males and females aged 25 to 65 years having Non-specific neck pain were assessed by NPRS and NDI. The study was conducted at Layyah City Hospital. Subjects were devided into two groups: Group A received stretching with Graston technique and Group B received stretching exercises. Pain and disability were assessed using NPRS and NDI. Both groups were assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 22.

Results:Both exercises from baseline post-session (6th week) showed reduction in NDI and NPRS scores (both p≤0.05). In contrast to group B( stretching group) there was statistically significant reduction in NDI and NPRS scores in Group A( stretching with Graston). It showed that stretching exercises with Graston technique were more effected than stretching exercises without Graston in reducing Non-specific neck pain.

Conclusion: Stretching exercises with Graston technique showed more significant result in reducing Non-specific neck pain..
