Abstract

Objectives: Organize the evidence on the role of cervical and shoulder joint mobilization techniques in traditional massage for treating cervical spondylosis (CS). Method: A scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Scientific articles published on Google Scholar in the period 2016 – 2025, related to the research objective were systematically searched and analyzed. Results: 111 studies were identified, 9 studies were included in the final review. Of these, 7 studies investigated joint mobilization techniques, 1 focused on manual stretching, and 1 examined the Maitland method. Regarding effectiveness, 5 studies reported pain relief, and 6 demonstrated improved joint range of motion (ROM). Conclusion: The studies revealed that joint mobilization through massage of traditional Vietnamese medicine helps prevent cervical spine pathology by enhancing the range of motion and partially increasing blood flow. Additionally, it assists individuals with cervical spine degeneration in alleviating pain, improving their range of motion, and enhancing daily function.
