•We recruited 84 participants who visit the outpatient clinic regularly for physical therapy treatment, 10 of them were not matched to the inclusion criteria and 4 did not agreed to be continue participation in the study. 70 participants were eligible; 30 male and 40 female, their ages ranged from 25 to 45 years. They were simply randomized and assigned to three groups; randomization was implemented by means of a computer-generated randomized table using the SPSS program (IBM, USA) prepared in advance to data collec¬tion. A certain identification number was assigned for every participant. These numbers were randomized into three groups. Individual and sequentially numbered index cards were secured in opaque envelopes. Each participant was given a hand-picked envelope and was relocated accordingly to their treatment groups. The 3 groups were: HILT group consisted of 25 participants (13 females and 12 males) received HILT plus selected exercises, the LIPUS group consisted of 23 participants (14 females and 9 males) received LIPUS and the selected exercises, or the control group consisted of 22 participants (13 females and 9 males) received exercises only.
