The study will be a randomized controlled trial. This study will be conducted in The University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. A sample size of 86 will be randomly allocated into two experimental groups,(43 participants in each group), by using computer-generated random number list method. The participants randomly allocated into two experimental, group A will receive Muscle energy technique (METs) specifically, Post isometric relaxation technique for upper trapezius and levator scapulae muscles, 1 set of 5 repetitions and 10 seconds hold along with routine physical therapy as (Hot pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator, strengthening and stretching exercises). Experimental group B will be delivered Active Release Technique on both sides of levator scapulae and upper trapezius muscles 1 set of 5 repetitions along with routine physical therapy as (Hot pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator, strengthening and stretching exercises). Both experimental groups will receive twelve treatment sessions (3 sessions per week for 4 weeks)
