The aim of this study is to develop a predictive model to identify which patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain are more likely to benefit from manual therapy and exercise program, or usual care.

Participants in this group will receive a 6-weeks program of mobilization and progressive exercise for the neck flexors, 2 times a week.
Participants in this group will receive usual care in physiotherapy during the 6-weeks period.
Change from baseline in Neck Pain Intensity as measured by the Numeric pain rating scale (NRPS) at 3 weeks.
The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥2 point in NRPS (range: 0 - 10 points).
Time frame: 3 weeks
Change from baseline in Neck Pain Intensity as measured by the Numeric pain rating scale (NRPS) at 6 weeks.
The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥2 point in NRPS (range: 0 - 10 points).
Time frame: 6 weeks
Change from baseline in Neck Pain Intensity as measured by the Numeric pain rating scale (NRPS) at follow-up 3 months.
The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥2 point in NRPS (range: 0 - 10 points).
Time frame: Follow-up 3 months
Change from baseline in Neck Disability as measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) at 3 weeks.
The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥27% in NDI (range: 0-50 and higher scores are indicative of more disability).
Time frame: 3 weeks
Change from baseline in Neck Disability as measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) at 6 weeks.
The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥27% in NDI (range: 0-50 and higher scores are indicative of more disability).

Clinical Important Treatment response in global perceived recovery as measured by Patient's Global Impression of Change Scale at 3 weeks
The clinically Important treatment response in global perceived recovery was defined as a value of ≥5 in Patient's Global Impression of Change Scale (range: 1-7 Likert Scale)
