Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the effect of abdominal myofascial release on pain, ROM and functional abilities of neck in females with CS scar.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

irty females with neck pain will participate in this study. Subjects will receive treatment session of thirty minutes in length in order to minimize tissue irritation and avoid increased tension of the scar area, which would counter the goal of the session.

Treatment sessions will be provided biweekly for two weeks apart in order to allow physiological and biomechanical healing time between treatment sessions.

MFR techniques will be employed to release the caesarean scar and myofascia of the DFL of each subject.

The depth of the scar in this study takes us through all the layers from the skin to the uterus, following the surgical incision procedure.

MFR was the primary treatment applied to the accessible structure of the patients' DFL, through Myers's MFR techniques of DFL. MFR in its simplest form targeted restoration of mobility of myofascial and fascial layers from within, and with the surrounding structure.
