Brief Summary

Swimming can cause shoulder pain due to scapular dyskinesis. Proper scapula movement is necessary for efficient swimming strokes and to avoid injury. Studying the effects of autogenic and reciprocal inhibition muscle energy techniques on swimmers with scapular dyskinesis can lead to effective interventions and reduce shoulder injuries

Study Arms (2)

Group A (Autogenic inhibition muscle energy technique)

EXPERIMENTAL

12 sessions will be conducted over a period of 4 weeks with 3 days per week Frequency: 12 sessions, four times a week for 3 consecutive weeks Time duration: apporx. 8 to 10 minutes

Procedure: Autogenic Inhibition-MET

Group B (Reciprocal inhibition muscle energy technique)

EXPERIMENTAL

12 sessions will be conducted over a period of 3 weeks with 4 days per week Frequency: 12 sessions, four times a week for 3 consecutive weeks Time duration: apporx. 8 to 10 minutes

Procedure: Reciprocal Inhibition-MET protocol

Interventions

Autogenic Inhibition-MET PROCEDURE

Autogenic Inhibition-MET protocol: 3-5 repetitions of post isometric relaxation (PIR) (30- 50% isometric contraction of the muscle to be stretched for 5-10 seconds, followed by rest period of 5 seconds and then a stretch of 20-30 seconds' hold. A total of 12 sessions, four times a week, for three consecutive weeks.

Group A (Autogenic inhibition muscle energy technique)

Reciprocal Inhibition-MET protocol PROCEDURE

Reciprocal Inhibition-MET protocol: 3-5 repetitions of Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) MET (30- 50% isometric contraction of the muscle opposite to the muscle to be stretched for 5-10 seconds, followed by rest period of 5 seconds and then a stretch of 20-30 seconds' hold A total of 12 sessions, four times a week, for three consecutive weeks

Group B (Reciprocal inhibition muscle energy technique)
