Interventions
cervical stabilization exercises and integrated neuromuscular technique.
Patients received cervical stabilization exercises and integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique. Cervical stabilization protocol included strengthening exercises of deep cervical flexors muscles which included chin tucks, isometric holds, ball squeeze, as well as deep cervical extensors muscles which included cranio-cervical flexion from neutral, upper cervical rotation and extension of cervical spine. integrated technique includes ischemic compression, muscle energy technique and strain counter strain.
