Interventions
jones and mulligan therapy
for jones technique in upper trapezius and suboccipital muscles, the participants supine , the therapist used manual palpation to locate the tender area in the UT and sub-ossipital muscles. Once detected, pressure to the tender area was progressively increased . The participant was then repositioned passively to decrease the stress under palpation, resulting in a 70% subjective decrement in pain. That position was maintained for 90 s. eventually, the participant returned to the neutral position slowly and passively. for mulligan SNAGS,The therapist held the patient with his trunk, and wrapped the patient's head lightly with his arm on the patient's side, and placed the ring finger on the trouble spot right above the small vertebral joint. The therapist placed the thenar eminence of his opposite hand on the ring finger, which was touching the lesion site. On the site, the therapist performed gliding in the upward direction of the front pupil (45 degrees) exercises
mulligan therapy
mulligan SNAGS,The therapist held the patient with his trunk, and wrapped the patient's head lightly with his arm on the patient's side, and placed the ring finger on the trouble spot right above the small vertebral joint. The therapist placed the thenar eminence of his opposite hand on the ring finger, which was touching the lesion site. On the site, the therapist performed gliding in the upward direction of the front pupil (45 degrees). The hand, which was touching the spinous process, should be relaxed in order not to squeeze too hard. The source of the power of gliding on the joint surface must come from the opposite hand of the patient-contacting hand. Gliding was applied rhythmically (three times per second) and the width of gliding starts from the middle to the end+ exercises
exercises program
The exercise program will be in the form of stretching exercises for the sternocleidomastoids (SCM), the scalenes, and upper fibers of trapezius; strengthening isometric exercises for the neck flexors, extensors, lateral flexors, and neck rotators; and postural correction exercises.
