postural correction

20 patients: will receive postural correction exercises program only.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

postural correction exercises

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A combination of yoga, stretching, and strengthening exercises may help you to fix or correct your posture over time.

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Tuina massage is similar to acupuncture in that it targets specific acupoints, but practitioners use fingers instead of needles to apply pressure to stimulate these points. Tuina massage is often used in combination with acupuncture.

Positional release

20 patients: will receive postural correction exercises program. In addition, the therapist put the patient in a comfortable posture for ninety seconds, after which they passively will be moved back to their initial positions

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

positional release

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

is a passive manual manipulation method used to alleviate musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
