Summary

this study will be conducted to investigate the impact of adding Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique to mulligan therapy in patients with cervicogenic headache

Conditions

  • Cervicogenic Headache

Interventions

OTHER

instrumeted assissted soft tissue mobilization and mulligan therapy

the patients will receive IASTM tools over the length of targeted muscles (descending fiber of trapezius, suboccipitalis muscles ) for 5 minutes. also, SNAG technique; Each patient will be asked to sit comfortably, and the treating therapist will stand beside the patient. The patient's head will be free and cradled between the therapist's right forearm and body, and the therapist stand at the patient's right side. The therapist then will place his right index, middle, and ring fingers at the base of the occiput and kept his right little finger over the spinous process of C2. Next, with the lateral border of his left thenar eminence, gentle pressure will be applied in a ventral and upward direction(45 degrees) over the right little finger. finally postural correction execises
