Aerobic exercise

A moderate-intensity aerobic exercise session on a treadmill consists of three phases: warm-up, active phase, and cool-down. The warm-up lasts 5-10 minutes and involves walking at minimum speed (2.0 - 3.0 km/h) with a slight incline (1 -2%) or as tolerated. The active phase, lasting 20-30 minutes, maintains a brisk walking or light jogging pace with moderate speed (4.5-6.5 km/h) or as tolerated. This phase can include steady-state jogging or intervals of walking and jogging to sustain cardiovascular engagement. Finally, the cool-down phase lasts 5-10 minutes, where the speed is gradually reduced to 2.0 - 3.0 km/h, allowing the heart rate to decrease safely.

OTHER

Sub occipital myofascial release

The patient will be asked to take a supine position, and a pillow will be placed under the patient's head for comfort until starting the procedure, the patient will be instructed to be relaxed, then the therapist will sit at the head of the bed and will place both hands underneath the patient's head in the occipital region. The therapist should then feel for the occipital ridge along the scalp and move the hands slightly caudal until the muscle is felt. The therapist then will flex the fingers upward against the suboccipital muscles and this position will be hold for 3 to 5 minutes or until significant muscle tension will be released.
