Full description

The purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Neuromuscular Reeducation Versus Post Facilitation Stretch Technique for Upper Cross Syndrome among IT professionals

we make 2 groups control and treatment group . we give NMR technique to treatment group and PFS technique to control group in patients with upper cross syndrome.

first we take base line readings of cervical ROM , NPRS AND neck diasbilty index.

after 2 weeks of treatment again we take same readings and compare both readings.

with techniques we also perform strengthning excercise of weal muscles for both groups
