Stripping Massage Technique and Post-isometric Relaxation

This randomized clinical trial investigates the synergistic effects of stripping massage and Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR) on pain alleviation, ROM and functional movement improvement in individuals with Trapezius myalgia. A purposive sampling approach will select participants aged 18 and 50 years. A total of 44 patients will be taken, who will be randomly divided into two equal groups, each containing 22 patients. Group A will receive standard baseline management, supplemented with heating pad, active stretching, isometrics and ischemic compression, while Group B will receive the combined management (stripping massage + PIR) .
