Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the Comparative effects of Reciprocal Inhibition and Static Stretching on Serratus anterior Muscle on Pain, range of Motion, and Functional ability among Female Amateur Athletes

Conditions

  • Sports Physical Therapy

Interventions

OTHER

Reciprocal inhibition

First Subjects will start doing baseline warmup exercises which are mentioned then they will perform reciprocal inhibition of the serratus muscle in supine or side-lying. After identifying the antagonist muscles of the serratus anterior, which are typically the rhomboids or the middle and lower trapezius. Athletes will perform a gentle contraction of the antagonist's muscles by retracting or squeezing their shoulder blades together. While the antagonist muscles are contracting, we will ask the athlete to simultaneously relax and lengthen the serratus anterior muscle. The patient can achieve this by protracting or pushing their shoulder blades forward and away from each other.

OTHER

Static stretching

Subjects will perform 2 stretches 1. Standing Wall Stretch: Stand facing a wall with your feet about hip-width apart. Place their palms on the wall at shoulder height, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. will Lean their body forward, keeping their arms straight, until feel a stretch in their serratus anterior. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds, then slowly release. Instead of using a wall or object, the athlete will use their opposite hand to hold the stretched arm in position. 2. Seated Cross-Body Stretch: Sit on the edge of a chair or bench. Cross one arm over your chest, placing your hand on the opposite shoulder. The athlete will use the other hand to gently pull the crossed arm closer to your body, feeling a stretch in the serratus anterior. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds or more, and then switch sides and repeat.
