Progressive muscle relaxation technique
"PMR focuses on the relationship between muscle tension and relaxation. By deliberately tensing a muscle group for a few seconds and then releasing the tension, individuals become more aware of the sensation of relaxation.~Group A Participants will receive PMR for 10 minutes each session, 3 sessions per week for 2 weeks and outcome measures will be recorded pre and post for each session."
Stretching exercises
"Stretching exercises are physical activities designed to improve the flexibility of muscles and joints. These exercises involve elongating specific muscle groups to enhance their elasticity and improve the range of motion around a joint.~Participants will be given 15 second stretches for each large muscle group, 3 sessions per week, for 2 weeks. Outcome measures will be assessed pre and post intervention."
Control Group
This group will consist of 12 participants who will not be given any physical therapy interventions. Same measurements will be taken at same intervals as the experimental groups.
