Summary

The purpose of this study will determine the effect of muscle energy technique versus mulligan technique on neck pain in breastfeeding women.

Detailed description

Conservative treatments used to manage neck pain are numerous and include usual medical care ( face to face interview, education, reassurance, medication, ergonomic and stay active advice), various forms of exercise, massage, and acupuncture among others, but a lack of evidence regarding their relative efficacy was found. More research is needed to determine specific exercise programs that can decrease neck pain in breastfeeding women. So, this study will be conducted to determine clinical evidence of the effectiveness of muscle energy technique versus mulligan technique on neck pain, which constituted a great problem facing the mother during the breastfeeding period.

Conditions

• Neck Pain
• Breast Feeding

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Muscle Energy Technique	A biomechanical correction approach can lead to the normalization of spinal curvatures and a decrease in the compressional and tensional stress on joints and soft tissues of the body.
OTHER	Mulligan Technique	* The patient will be in a supportive low back chair, thus cervical region will be in a vertical position (Weight-bearing position) with the therapist position will be behind the patient. * Then the therapist will move the spinous process up in the direction that must follow the apophyseal joint plane under treatment, that is, toward the eye ball. While sustaining this pain-free accessory glide, the patient will be instructed to actively perform the physiological movement gradually until the end ROM with over pressure at the end of the range.
