BEHAVIORAL

cognitive behavioral therapy

The therapeutic patient education (TPE) program was based on a biobehavioral approach and was divided into the following three parts: cognitive, operant, and respondent. The purpose of the TPE program was to modify erroneous beliefs about pain and disability, as well as to provide coping strategies and improve patient self-efficacy through a graded activity.

OTHER

sub-occipital inhibitory pressure

The suboccipital musculature will be palpated until contact is made with the posterior arch of the atlas, and progressive and deep gliding pressure was applied, pushing the atlas anteriorly. The occiput will be rested on the hands of the therapist while the atlas is supported by the fingertips. Finger pressure will be maintained for 10 minutes to produce the proposed therapeutic effect of inhibiting the suboccipital soft tissues.

OTHER

deep friction massage

Friction massage is performed with the fingertips placed on the trigger points. Pressure was applied and the fingertips move in a circular manner, while the pressure is gradually increased. This massage will be applied until the patient report a reduction in pain at the trigger point

OTHER

Spinal manipulation

This technique is performed along an imaginary vertical line passing through the odontoid process of the axis. No flexion or extension and very little lateral flexion will be used. Application will be bilateral. First, cephalic decompression will be performed lightly, followed by small circumductions. Selective tension will be applied to take up tissue slack and create a firm joint barrier. Manipulation is then performed with rotation towards the manipulated side in a helicoidal cranial movement. This technique will be applied with the aim of increasing occiput, atlas, and axis joint mobility.

Exercises for forward head posture

"Scapular stabilization exercises:~1. In quadruped position, the patient lift¬ up his arms alternatively with shoulder abduction and 120 ° flexion.~2. In sitting position, with 90° knee flexion on a stool or bed without backrest, patient hold a pair of dumb¬bells (2 kg) in each hand and lift them up laterally while maintaining scapulae's height below 80°. The patient was instructed to hold each stage for 10 seconds and then re-turn to the starting position and three sets of 10 repetitions with 30-second pause in between were completed.~3. As for the progression of scapular stability exercise, T to Y the patient was instructed to lie in prone lying position on Swiss ball with arms abducted to 90° (the letter T); then she asked to flex elbows to 90°, retract scapulae and externally ro¬tate arms while keeping arm in 90° abductions. While maintaining the retraction of scapula, the patient is asked to raise his arms above head and extend the elbow while his arm flexed and abducted to 120°"
