Experimental Group

"Hot fermentation was applied for 10 mints. Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique \[sustain pressure, Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR) and SCS\]. Sustain pressure was applied on trigger points using thumb for 3 sec hold and 2 mints release (till pain is reduced).~Post isometric stretch (MET) was given with 4 repetitions (6-10sec hold). Strain counter strain was given in which upper trapezius shortened position was maintained by slight flexion, same side bending, opposite rotation and shoulder abduction for 90 sec and repeats this procedure till the pain is reduced to 3 out of 10.~Self-stretches for cervical muscles were done at the end of session to maintain the gained ranges (10 reps×1 set) For home plan cervical muscles stretching and postural care was guided"
