Effects of Muscle Energy Technique Versus Cervical and Scapulothoracic Stabilization Exercises in Upper Crossed Syndrome

Eccentric muscle energy technique was applied to subjects' cervical spine. The cervical spine will brought to the barrier of motion in each plane i.e. flexion/extension, lateral bending and rotation. Then subjects will asked to push their heads into the direction opposite that of the barrier. The therapist provided isometric resistance for 3- 5 seconds, after which the subjects relaxed their muscles completely and the therapist applied stretch.
