Objectives: To compare the effects of Maitland’s Segmental Mobilization and General Spine Mobilization in cervical spondylosis.
Methodology: This double-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted at Yusra General Hospital, Rehabilitation center, Rawalpindi, that included 30 patients diagnosed with cervical spondylosis aged between 51-59 years and having symptoms exceeding more than a month and limited range of motion for more than two months.

Results: Mean age of these 30 patients was 51.3±8.21 years. A significant difference was found from pre and post-intervention measurements (p
