Brief Summary

the study aims to investigate the effectiveness of diaphragmatic release on upper crossed syndrome

Conditions

Neck Muscle Issue; Kyphosis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• chest expansion with tape measurement

  using tape to measure chest expansion during inspiration and expiration at axillary level and at the level of T10

  up to four weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• pain intensity with pain numerical scale scale

  up to four weeks

Study Arms (2)

GroupA diaphragmatic release + conventional

EXPERIMENTAL

Group A: diaphragmatic release +conventional The patients will be positioned in the supine position. The therapist stood at the head of the patient contact thoracic cage and ask the patient to take inspiration and move laterally then ask the patient to expire. conventional Subjects will form the letter 'Y' with their arms then they will flex their elbows and move into a position of shoulder extension so that their arms will form the letter 'w L to Y Exercise: Subjects will begin with arms abducted to 90° and elbows flexed to 90° Chin tucks: Subjects will length the neck by pushing the chin into the table in an entirely posterior motion stretch the pectoral area from the supine lying position

Other: effect of diaphragmatic release on upper crossed syndrome

Group B: conventional

EXPERIMENTAL

Group B: conventional posture correction exercises Subjects will form the letter 'Y' with their arms then they will flex their elbows and move into a position of shoulder extension, so that their arms will form the letter 'w L to Y Exercise: Subjects will begin with arms abducted to 90° and elbows flexed to 90° Chin tucks : Subjects will length the neck by pushing the chin into the table in an entirely posterior motion stretch pectoral area from supine lying position

Other: effect of diaphragmatic release on upper crossed syndrome
