2020, International Journal of Osteopathic MedicineCitation Excerpt :Such treatments are also more patient-centric and may be beneficial as techniques can be chosen based on the characteristics of the target tissues [34] in addition to the perception of patient's needs. Additionally, findings from other manual therapy reviews [38,39] suggest that a multi-modal style treatment may actually be associated with favourable clinical outcomes. The majority of included studies provided the intervention at a frequency of 2–5 times per week for the length of the intervention period, which, considering the associated financial cost and time commitment is perhaps an unachievable course of treatment for many people, an issue that has been acknowledged in previous reviews on massage [20,34].

An update of the Bone and Joint Decade Task Force on Neck Pain and Its Associated Disorders by the OPTIMa collaboration
2016, Spine JournalCitation Excerpt :Neck pain is a public health problem associated with disability, reduced health-related quality of life, and substantial health-care system costs [1–3]. Numerous treatments, including manual therapies, passive physical modalities, and acupuncture, are commonly used to treat neck pain [4,5]. However, few interventions have been demonstrated to be effective and most are associated with short-term benefits [5].
