Summary

This study compares two manual therapy techniques—Positional Release Technique and Post Isometric Relaxation—to see which better reduces pain, improves neck movement, and eases daily disability in people with tight levator scapulae muscles. About 44 adults aged 25 to 40 with neck pain and trigger points will receive one of the treatments for 4 weeks. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage this common posture-related neck pain.
