Interventions

Intervention1: Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique: The Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT) is a manual therapy approach used in physiotherapy to manage muscle pain, tightne
MET uses the patient s voluntary muscle contractions against resistance to relax and lengthen tight muscles
and SCS is a passive technique that places the muscle in a position of comfort to reduce spasm and reset muscle spindle activity. By integrating these methods, INIT helps reduce pain, release muscle t
