·       Stretching of extensor muscle of the spine

·       Strengthing of core muscles ( plank,crunches)

      Group B will undergo MFR with postural correction exercises.

The application of 3D MFR encompassed distinct techniques at three different levels performed bilaterally as outlined below:

**3D stretch *:***The stretch was performed with the patient sitting on the treatment table and the therapist standing behind the patient. With the hands placed diagonal to each other, stretch was applied laterally and slightly forward at the same time. The stretch was applied bilaterally.

**3D stretch with trunk rotation *:***The stretch will performed with the patient sitting on the treatment table and the therapist standing behind the patient. Diagonal stretch downward on one shoulder was applied with one hand and a diagonal stretch up and slightly forward on the other shoulder to initiate the stretch in trunk rotation.
