Background: Background: Neck pain can be caused by different pathology that can affect patients’ day to day life due to pain and reduced ROM. The process of making professional decisions before, during, and after treatment in physiotherapy is known as clinical reasoning, and it is seen as a crucial part of physiotherapy practice for physiotherapy professionals. Aim: The aim and objective of this study is to describe a solo case with cervical radiculopathy with appropriate assessment and evidence-based treatment, also evaluating the outcome of the treatment process therefore establish the effectiveness of advance physiotherapy in this case. Method: A case study of typical cervical radiculopathy managed by using clinical reasoning process and advance evidence-based physiotherapy treatment to reduce pain, increase ROM, improve functional ability and ADL’s. Result: Pain was noticeably reduced, and range of motion had improved and changes in disability status with neck disability index by the end of the six-week therapeutic strategy. Patient can now participate in daily activities without any limitation. Conclusion: This case study states that evidenced based physiotherapy is beneficial for cervical radiculopathy. In addition, application and clinical reasoning process can be useful and cost effective.
