Abstract
Background: There are several treatments for lowering neck discomfort, but only a handful of them provide an instant effect. Sub occipital myofascial release and neck strengthening exercises are practical, fast, straightforward, and simple to do. The immediate impact of sub occipital myofascial release and cervical strengthening exercise has been investigated in research. However, there was a lack of research comparing the two approaches and determining their relative impact on neck discomfort. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine the immediate benefits of sub occipital myofascial release and cervical strengthening exercise in reducing neck discomfort and increasing joint range of motion. Materials & Methods: Total 30 patients with neck discomfort will be randomly randomized to two research groups. Group-A (n=15) get sub occipital myofascial release and Group-B (n=15) will receive cervical strengthening. The topic will be screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Before the research written permission form will be sought from all individuals via that adequate description of the process, purpose and risk/benefits was given to all subjects. Results: According to the results of our investigation, there was a discernible split in the scores both groups received before and after the intervention. When compared with the participants in Group 2, who participated in cervical strengthening exercise, the (SUB-Occipital Myofascial RELEASE) treatment group had significantly more beneficial results. This demonstrates that the Sub-Occipital Myofascial Release technique is superior for treating neck discomfort. Conclusion: According to our findings, there was a significant difference between the pre- and post-intervention ratings for both groups. Participants in the (SUB-Occipital Myofascial Release) therapy group fared better than those in Group 2 who did cervical strengthening exercises. That the Sub-Occipital Myofascial Release method is better at relieving neck pain .
