The aim is to investigate the effectiveness of pre- and post-application of, the Active Release Technique, on cervical range of motion addressing upper trapezius spasms for patients suffering from non-specific neck pain. Materials and Methods: The study was done over a sample size of 15 patients which included both male and female patients among the age group of 20 – 50 years suffering from non-specific neck pain. A simple Random sample was used for selecting the sample population. The duration of the study was 12 weeks. Cervical ROM was used as an outcome measure. Results: Paired and unpaired sample t-tests were used to compare the outcome differences. Improvement was significant with cervical ROM (p<0.004). In conclusion, the active release technique is thereby effective in improving the cervical range of motion in patients having non-specific neck pain.
