This study is a randomised control trial and 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 .
IT profressionals
20 - 40 years
Both genders
Diagnosed UCS
History of cervical spine
Fracture
Trauma to neck
Parallel
Neuromuscular reeducation technique
Procedure/Surgery5 repetitions of neuromuscular reeducation technique i.e. deep pressure along muscles origin to insertion with active movement of that muscle with 10 seconds rest of each repetitions. Control group will receive 3- 5 repetitions of Post Facilitation stretch to the tight muscles of UCS i.e. 20% maximal isometric contraction of the muscles to be stretched for 5-10 seconds followed by a rapid stretch ( through the new barrier) of 10 seconds. After stretch muscle is allowed to relax in mid range for 10 seconds.
Post Facilitation Stretch
Procedure/Surgery3- 5 repetitions of Post Facilitation stretch to the tight muscles of UCS i.e. 20% maximal isometric contraction of the muscles to be stretched for 5-10 seconds followed by a rapid stretch ( through the new barrier) of 10 seconds. After stretch muscle is allowed to relax in mid range for 10 seconds.
Change in ROM
ROM will be measured with goniometer
Pain intensity
It will be measured using Numeric pain rating scale
Neck Disability
It will be measured using Neck disability index
