Effect of Mulligan Snag and Diaphragmatic Release on Thoracic Kyphosis

Effect of Mulligan Snag and Diaphragmatic Release on Thoracic Kyphosis

the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of mulligan snag mobilisation and diaphragmatic release on upper crossed syndrome

Acquired postural disorders can be a consequence, to a large extent, of contemporary living and working conditions. Some of the most typical factors include continuous use of mobile phones and computers, working in sedentary jobs. Prolonged incorrect posture and reduced physical activity present a dis-balance in the musculature . It can also lead to vision issues, as well as headaches, musculoskeletal issues, and pain, as well as a multitude of other symptoms.

Upon the available research studies, there is not study conducted to investigate the effect of mulligan SNAG mobilization and diaphragmatic release in upper crossed syndrome patients this trial has four groups; one will receive diaphragmatic release + conventional, the second will receive mulligan SNAG mobilization, and conventional, the third will receive mulligan SNAG mobilization+diaphragmatic release+conventional, the fourth subjects will receive conventional
