Effects of IASTM Along With Comprehensive Corrective Exercise Program in Upper Cross Syndrome.
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
This study will see the effects of IASTM along with comprehensive corrective exercise program in upper cross syndrome through their effects on pain and cervical ranges as well as postural improvement. Our study targets both male and female population. In the reference study only male population was targeted which did not show effects of both techniques on the female population though females have high stress levels which may alter results.
Official title: Effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique Along With Comprehensive Corrective Exercise Program in Upper Cross Syndrome.

Hot Pack will be applied at the beginning of the session for 10 minutes. Wall corner stretching exercises, neck isometric exercises and neck stretching exercises will be performed Cold pack will be applied at the end of the session for a few minutes.
IASTM and CCEP
Instrument Assisted Soft Mobilization Technique (IASTM); For pectoralis major: Subjects will be asked to lay supine with their thorax front side exposed. In abduction, restriction or adhesions will be located using scanning and gel will be applied. IASTM also address soft tissue restrictions and pain in levator scapulae, suboccipital muscles and sternocleidomastoid muscle. The Comprehensive Corrective Exercise Program (CCEP) will be designed in three phases, including initial, improvement, and maintenance.. The exercises in appropriate muscles in correct alignment during the movement pattern, the protocol focused on improving sustained postures. Exercises in initial phase protocol from 10 s hold x7 to 15 s hold x 10 from roller Exercises in improvement phase protocol from 10 repetition x 5 to 15 repetition x 6 from dumbbell , thera band, swiss ball and balance board
