. Then patients will randomly assigned in the two groups, Experimental group (group A) and the control (group B). The Experimental group receives 3 sets of 10 MWM repetitions in one treatment session and 30 sec of rest in each set and KT tapping 3 sessions a week for 4 weeks.
Control B received KT tapping 3 sessions a week for 4 weeks. Pre and Post intervention patients conditions will assess by the NRS, DPA- scale and the PSFS scale.
