Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to find out the effectiveness of myofascial release versus foam rolling combined with scapular muscle strengthening and conventional physiotherapy exercises on pain and muscle strength in individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain A-4 weeks single blinded randomized controlled trail. 40subjects 20 in each group will be recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. There will be 2 groups MFR along with scapluar muscle strengthening and foam rolling with scapular muscle strengthening. Conventional treatment will be given to both groups. Outcome measures are pain, pain pressure threshold, muscle strength and neck disability index. Pre intervention outcome measure will be taken. Intervention will be given for 4 weeks and post treatment outcome measures will be taken. follow up will be taken after 4 weeks. analysis and result will be calculated.
