The study aims to identify the effect of the use of massage and some rehabilitation exercises in the treatment of some pain associated with neck spasm . The two researchers used the experimental one-group approach with a pre-and post-test, and the research sample consisted of (19) patients with neck pain who visit the Misrata hospital physiotherapy department. The most important conclusions reached by the two researchers were the presence of an effective positive effect of special physical exercises in reducing the pain associated with neck spasm, and massage using metered mechanisms leads to a positive effect in the treatment of neck spasm and reducing the pain associated with spasm. The two researchers recommended the use of massage to relieve spasms and pain of the neck muscles and regulate working hours, especially when using a computer, and special rehabilitation exercises should be done to follow up and avoid recurrence of neck spasm.
