Interventions
5 repetitions of neuromuscular reeducation technique i.e. deep pressure along muscles origin to insertion with active movement of that muscle with 10 seconds rest of each repetitions. Control group will receive 3- 5 repetitions of Post Facilitation stretch to the tight muscles of UCS i.e. 20% maximal isometric contraction of the muscles to be stretched for 5-10 seconds followed by a rapid stretch ( through the new barrier) of 10 seconds. After stretch muscle is allowed to relax in mid range for 10 seconds.
