Non-specific neck pain is neck pain that does not spread to upper limbs, pain located in the neck of the occipital area to the back shoulders. Non-specific neck pain is caused by several factors such as incorrect posture, anxiety, stress and excessive movement. The rigid and pain in the neck muscles also occurs headaches and migraines. The study aims to determine myofascial release technique (MRT) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) toward the pain level in the non-specific neck pain patients. The study was quasi experimental methods with one group pre-test and post-test design. The study was conducted in Anuntaloko Parigi Hospital on March until April 2017. The samples were 20 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The result obtained different before and after intervention MRT was 23.2 with p=0.000. These results indicated significant decrease or change in the pain level. Meanwhile, independent t-test obtained the difference of probability before and after intervention was 0.286>0.05 which concluded there was no significant difference in the intervention MRT and TENS toward pain levels in the non-specific neck pain patients.
