Summary

SCAPULO-THORACIC MOBILIZATION COMPARED TO IASTM IN PATIENTS WITH MECHANICAL NECK PAIN

Conditions

  • Mechanical Neck Pain

Interventions

OTHER

scapulothoracic mobilization

Patient in prone lying position. The left hand of the physical therapist lifts the scapula to distract from the thoracic wall while the right hand mobilizes and stretches the inferior muscle groups attached to the scapula.

OTHER

IASTM

Restrictions and myofascial adhesions should be assessed prior to treatment along both sides using IASTM tool and a lubricant. Once restrictions are assessed, fanning strokes at 45 degree angles to skin should be applied using the tool. This technique should be performed for 20 seconds parallel to the muscle fibers and 20 seconds perpendicular to the muscle fibers for each muscle group in scapulothoracic region. Total time for IASTM application is 10 mints. Upon completing all this patient should be given a home plan consisting of 2 different self-stretches targeting levator scapulae and upper trapezius
