Arom: active range of motion; VAS: visual analog scale for pain assessment. Right aROM: active range of motion of rotation of the neck to the right before the first intervention; left aROM: active range of motion of rotation of the neck to the left before the first intervention; right pain VAS: pain visual analog scale on right rotation of the neck before the first intervention; left pain VAS: pain visual analog scale on left rotation of the neck before the first intervention. GDR group, mean (standard deviation); control group, mean (standard deviation). In each variable, there was no significant difference between the two groups.
