Grade III Ventro-Cranial Translatoric Glides(standard protocol)

"All participants will receive 2 weeks of intervention with a frequency of 3-4 days/week with a period of rest in between. 20 minutes of TENS+ hot pack will be given followed by Grade III Ventro-Cranial Translatoric Glides on hypomobile segments at level T1-T4.~The mobilization will be applied and sustained for 30-40 seconds and will be continued for 10-15 minutes in a cyclic manner.~The grades of mobilization will be tapered as per individual needs."
