Study Groups

Graston technique.

The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy known as soft-tissue instrument-assisted mobilization

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Graston technique

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

muscle energy technique

Muscle Energy Technique (MET), uses a muscle's own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition and lengthen the muscle

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL
