OTHER

Isometrics

Isometric neck extension -individuals will be taught to place their dominant hand posterior to their head at occiput. Then, they will be told to firmly push the head backwards against that hand, and hold for five seconds and repeat 5 times. • Participants will be asked to place the right hand flat on the same side of the head. Next. they will be instructed to firmly push the head against right hand and hold for 5 seconds and repeat five times. Same exercise will be repeated with the left hand against the left side of the head as well. • Participants will be taught to place their right hand on their right cheek. Then, they will be told to rum the face against the right hand and wait for 5 seconds and repeat five times. Same exercise was repeated with the left hand on the left cheek as well.

OTHER

Combination Therapy

1. In supine position, the patient will be instructed to take a deep breath in order to relax the body whilst holding his/her shoulders and neck in a comfortable posture. 2. the patient will bend his/her knees and place their feet flat on the floor, and will hold the posture without any other neck movement. Then the patient will be asked to raise their dominant arm to 90° shoulder flexion along with full elbow extension and scapular protraction. This posture will be held for 10 seconds before returning to the prior position with 3 laps, 10 repetitions with a one-minute break between. 3. in quadruped position, the patient will lift up their arms alternatively with shoulder abduction and 120 ° flexion. This posture will be held for 10 seconds before returning to the starting position for three laps, 10 repetitions with a 30-second break in between. Participants will be instructed to perform these for 3 times a week for 4 weeks.
