Summary

The goal of this a randomized control trial is to carried out to examine Graston technique (GT) and muscle energy method (MET) impact on nonspecific neck pain compared to traditional physiotherapy treatment (TPT), This study aims to contrast between the outcomes of GT and MET on both pain intensity and functional disability in patients. Each participant was assigned a unique number, and then those numbers were randomly divided into three groups. Three groups were formed from a random selection of participants: GT Group (A): received 12 sessions of GT and (TPT) over the course of four weeks (three sessions per week). MET Group (B): received 12 sessions of MET treatment and (TPT) over a period of four weeks (three sessions per week). Control Group (C): received 12 sessions of traditional physiotherapy (TPT) over a period of four weeks (three sessions per week).

graston and muscle energy technique

Graston technique (Gt) is a technique of mobilization of soft tissue using instruments which consider myofascial release instrument that has been reported to relieve pain, improve overall function, and increase range of motion. Muscle energy technique (MET) is a term composed of various types of active muscular relaxation and stretching procedures. The two cornerstone forms of MET are reciprocal inhibition and post isometric relaxation. In theory, reciprocal inhibition takes advantage of the neurological phenomena of muscular contraction, which results in an inhibitory effect on the antagonistic muscles.
