Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Neuromuscular Reeducation Versus Post Facilitation Stretch Technique for Upper Cross Syndrome among IT professionals
Investigator will make 2 groups control and treatment group . investigator will give NMR technique to treatment group and PFS technique to control group in patients with upper cross syndrome.
first investigator will take base line readings of cervical ROM by using goniometer , NPRS AND neck diasbilty index.
after 2 weeks of treatment again investigator will take same readings and compare both readings.
with techniques investigator will also perform strengthning excercise of weal muscles for both groups
Interventions
- Procedure Group A
Treatment protocol given to the both groups will be carried out for 7 sessions for 2 weeks on alternative days. It will consist of a 10 minute hot pack. Neuromuscular reeducation for following muscles. Pectoralis major Upper trapezius Levator scapulae Strengthening exercises of: Rhomboids Lower \& middle trapezius Deep flexors Neuromuscular reeducation It will break adhesion result in loosen the scar tissue will increase the temperature and cause in increase of blood flow . Muscles contract - Procedure Group B
Treatment protocol was given to both groups for 7 session sessions for 2 weeks on alternative days. It was comprises of HOT PACK for 10 minutes . Post facilitation stretch for following muscles. Pectoralis major Upper trapezius Levator scapulae Strengthening exercises of: Rhomboids Lower \& middle trapezius Deep flexors Post facilitation stretch : Post Facilitation Stretch is an isometric Contraction in which he participants were instructed to contract the muscles to the maximum voluntary c
