Pressure Algometer 4 weeks Pain threshold for each woman in both groups (A\&B) will be measured before and after the treatment program by using "Pressure Algometer" . The pressure pain threshold measurements for trapezius will be performed at mid-way between the seventh cervical vertebrae and acromial angle in limited area in the second and third quadrants (Barbero et al.' 2013).
