Interventions
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
the treatment will start by disinfect the instrument between patients to avoid transfer of infections. It is recommended to disinfect the instrument with intermediate-level disinfectants (e.g. isopropyl alcohol), then wash it with soap and water to remove any residuals of the chemical disinfectant off the instrument. If the tools contacts blood, bodily fluids, mucous membranes, or non-intact skin then disinfecting it with high-level disinfectant should be done .IASTM will be done at 30-60 degrees angle for 40-120 seconds+ radiational therapy
traditional therapy
the patients will receive traditional therapy in the form of ultrasound, scar massage, and stretching exercises.
