These chronic neck and shoulder pains have
great socioeconomic impact as they are associated
with low work ability and poor quality of life.
Approximately 56% of sick leave has been attributed
to work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
Various therapeutic modalities have been used by
patients suffering from work-related musculoskeletal
disorders; these include exercises, manual
therapy, massage, ergonomics, multidisciplinary
treatment, and energized splint and individual
treatment vs. group therapy. Among these, stretching
exercise is our treatment of interest because it
can decrease muscle stiffness by elongating the
elastic component of the musculotendinous unit. It
can also decrease pain and improve flexibility.
In most cases, pain associated with work-related
musculoskeletal disorders causes some degree of
disabilities from limitation of range of motion
