INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Group A will be treated with Postisometric relaxation technique and Group B will be treated with Static stretching technique. Postisometric relaxation will be performed with the frequency of 5 times, such that it includes (30 isometric contraction of the muscle to be stretched for 10 seconds, followed by rest period of 5 seconds and then a stretch of 10 seconds hold. Stretching exercise will be performed with 30 second hold and with 5 repetitions. All Exercises will be performed 3 times per week for total of 4 weeks. Outcome measures will be conducted through pain, range of motion, disability and muscle length after 4 weeks.
