Study Groups

Postural correction exercise

All women in both groups (A&B) will receive postural correction exercises which includes:

A.mckenzie exercises:

The exercise routine consists of seven types of movements,at static maximum strength, with 15_20 repetitions, holding each repetition for seven seconds.the subjects complete one 20-minutes set per day,three times a week for four weeks B.strengthening exercise targeted the periscapular muscles (Y to W,l to W), scapular retraction.strengthening exercises will be progressively performed for 3sets, with 10 to15 repetitions C.pectoralis flexibility on a foam roller.Hold for 5seconds and repeated 10 time s

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Shockwave

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Shockwave therapy session once a week for month 1000shock per session

Shockwave therapy

All women in group (B) will receive shockwave therapy once a week for the duration of the trial (4 weeks)

The dosage used will be as the following:

Energy flux Density (EFD)=0,25 ml/mm2 Number of shocks=1000 shocks(kamel et al.,2020). Time:2-5minutes per session.
