Effect of Muscle Energy Technique on Cervical Pain and Heading Performance in Recreational Football Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Muscle Energy Technique (MET) effectively reduces cervical pain and enhances heading performance in recreational football players. In this randomized controlled trial, the MET group showed greater improvements in pain, cervical range of motion, muscle strength, and heading scores compared to controls, highlighting MET’s role in optimizing cervical function and performance.
