Sixty-six (66) of both genders ranging in age from 18 to 35 years old, with a history of mechanical neck pain longer than 3 months (chronic neck pain) will be invited to participate in this study. Participants will be randomly assigned into one of the three experimental groups as follow: Group A will receive respiratory exercises in form of diaphragmatic breathing \& respiratory muscle stretch gymnastics plus conventional program. Group B will receive deep neck flexor training in the form of low-load craniocervical flexion using feedback from an air-filled pressure sensor placed behind the neck plus conventional program. G
