Interventions
Frenkel's exercises
In this group, participants will receive Frenkel's exercises, and the total treatment session will be 60 minutes of routine physical therapy, i.e., breathing, stretching, ROM's, and joint mobility, with rest intervals in between for 20 minutes. To begin the intervention, the investigator will perform Frenkel's exercises for 40 minutes in total, with rest intervals between each exercise, initially performing 5 repetitions and then gradually progressing to 10 and then 15 repetitions, respectively, after 2 weeks.
Core stability exercises
This group participants will receive core stability exercises, and the total treatment session will also be 60 minutes. The routine physical therapy includes breathing, stretching, joint rotations, ROM's, and frequent periods of rest in between the treatment sessions. To begin the intervention the investigator will perform core stability exercises for 40 minutes in total with rest intervals between each exercise and initially performing 5 repetitions and then gradually progressing to 10 and then 15 repetitions, respectively after 2 weeks.
