| Reverse NAGS(experimental) | Procedure | All participants will receive 2 weeks of intervention with a frequency of 3-4 days/week with a period of rest in between. 20 minutes of TENS+ hot pack will be given followed by Reverse NAGs on hypomobile segments at level T1-T4. In these type of mobilization, the inferior facet glides up on the superior. The mobilizations are repeated <6 times and then movements are reassessed. If no change occurs, the process will be repeated upto 10 minutes with resting period. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Thoracic Pain | It will be measured using numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) in which the subjects select a number ranging from 0-10 according to their intensity of pain. '0' score indicates no pain while '10' indicates worst pain experienced. | Variable will be assessed at pre and post treatment for the total interval of 2 weeks. |
| Range of Motion | Range of motion will be measured using inclinometer. It will be used to measure range of motion of flexion, extension and lateral flexion on both right and left side on thoracic spine. | Variable will be assessed at pre and post treatment for the total interval of 2 weeks. |

| Grade III Ventro-Cranial Translatoric Glides(standard protocol) | Procedure | All participants will receive 2 weeks of intervention with a frequency of 3-4 days/week with a period of rest in between. 20 minutes of TENS+ hot pack will be given followed by Grade III Ventro-Cranial Translatoric Glides on hypomobile segments at level T1-T4. The mobilization will be applied and sustained for 30-40 seconds and will be continued for 10-15 minutes in a cyclic manner. The grades of mobilization will be tapered as per individual needs. |
