Interventions
The patients receive dry cupping therapy for 10 min on the marked trigger point using a plastic set with a hand vacuum pump
The patients receive the Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique, which consists of ischemic compression, strain-counterstrain, and muscle energy techniques.
The patients receive stretching and strengthening exercises
the patients recive all the three interventions
