The patients will be in the sitting position and asked to move their head in the direction that particularly produces their symptoms. As the participant moves their head, the physiotherapist gently glides the painful vertebra anteriorly and sustains the glide through the movement. During the application of the glide, the participant should stay symptom free and is instructed to stop moving if any PAIN is produced. This movement was repeated for 10 times for 3 sets, The interval between the sets was 15 to 20 seconds.After mobilization subject had to perform same exercises as conventional group plus conventional physical therapy

The subject will be in comfortable sitting position leaning on a treatment table with the arm crossed to rest the head. After cleaning the skin of the subject and the blade with alcohol swabs, a lubricant (Vaseline) was applied, and a sweeping technique was used to apply a deep yet comfortable soft tissue mobilization on the upper trapezius from origin to insertion for approximately 3 min. First, M2T blade will be utilized to locate the precise locations of limitation in the affected muscles. Second, the M2T blade was put at 45 degree angle by using convex surface to apply gentle strokes along the muscle. Subjects were instructed that slight hyperemia on the skin is a normal feeling and should subside before the next session.

the patients will receive conventional physical therapy in the form of Infrared, TENS , stretching exercices, isometric exercises
