Study Overview
Brief Summary
the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of mulligan snag mobilisation and diaphragmatic release on upper crossed syndrome
Detailed Description
Acquired postural disorders can be a consequence, to a large extent, of contemporary living and working conditions. Some of the most typical factors include continuous use of mobile phones and computers, working in sedentary jobs. Prolonged incorrect posture and reduced physical activity present a dis-balance in the musculature . It can also lead to vision issues, as well as headaches, musculoskeletal issues, and pain, as well as a multitude of other symptoms.
Upon the available research studies, there is not study conducted to investigate the effect of mulligan SNAG mobilization and diaphragmatic release in upper crossed syndrome patients this trial has four groups; one will receive diaphragmatic release + conventional, the second will receive mulligan SNAG mobilization, and conventional, the third will receive mulligan SNAG mobilization+diaphragmatic release+conventional, the fourth subjects will receive conventional

Arms & Interventions
diaphragmatic release, and conventional
Diaphragmatic release:
The patients will be positioned in the supine position. The therapist stood at the head of the patient. The therapist makes manual contact bilaterally under the costal cartilages of the lower ribs (7th to 10th ) with hypothenar regions of the hands and the last three fingers. During the patient's inspiration, the therapist will gently pull the points of hand contacts toward the head and slightly laterally, while elevating the ribs simultaneously. During exhalation, the therapist will deepen hand contact toward the inner coastal margins for 5 to 7 minute conventional therapy: the patient will receive chin-in, interscapular exercises, and pectoralis stretch
Intervention: mulligan snag mobilization and diaphragmatic release (Other)
mulligan SNAG mobilization, and conventional
mulligan snag: Apply a passive intervertebral movement in a superior anterior direction along the facet plane. While maintaining this "glide" as the patient actively moves in any range of physiological movement and then sustains it at the end range position for a few seconds. (3 sets,10 repetitions) conventional therapy: the patient will receive chin-in, interscapular exercises, and pectoralis stretch

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
pain intensity
Time Frame: up to four weeks
The scale that will be used is the Visual analogue scale;each subject will be instructed to put point on a line from no pain to tolerable pain
Secondary Outcomes
- cervical range of motion(up to four weeks)
