Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
goniometer
Range of motion will be measured by using universal standard goniometer.The goniometer comprises a body (rotation axis) with two arms attached to it, one being fixed and the other movable. The measurement of the ROM is performed by direct reading of the angle between the axis of rotation at the end of the active ROM of the movement assessed.
4 WEEKS
Secondary Outcomes (1)

EXPERIMENTALInterventions
Group A (Post Isometric Relaxation + Conventional Physiotherapy): This group will receive Muscle Energy Technique in addition to conventional physiotherapy for the treatment of erector spinae tightness. The treatment will be given on alternate days for four weeks with 8 - 10 repetitions of METs per session.
Group B (Post Facilitation Stretching + Conventional Physiotherapy): This group will receive Post Facilitation Stretching Technique in addition to conventional physiotherapy for the treatment of erector spinae tightness. The treatment will be given on alternate days for four weeks with 8 - 10 repetitions of METs per session.
