This study compares two physical therapy treatment approaches for females suffering from mechanical neck pain - pain in the neck that comes from the muscles, joints, or soft tissues rather than from nerve damage or disease. Mechanical neck pain is very common and can cause significant pain, stiffness, difficulty moving the head, and problems with daily activities. Fifty adult females aged 18 to 45 years with mechanical neck pain lasting more than 4 weeks will be randomly divided into two equal groups. Group M (25 participants) will receive upper cervical spine manual therapy using the Mulligan mobilization technique, which involves gentle joint movements to restore normal neck joint motion, combined with standard cervical exercises. Group B (25 participants) will receive the same Group M treatment plus biofeedback-guided deep cervical flexor training. This additional exercise uses a pre
