      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: Randomization will be done by use of sealed envelops which involves assigning participants to different groups by randomly selecting an envelope that contains their group assignment. This will ensure reduce biasness in allocation of interventions. Simple randomization method is used to allocate participants to different groups, Blinding description: In the trial the participant is blinded by not knowing or being unaware which intervention they are receiving , but the researcher know. This trial will be single blinded.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group A: Myofascial release will be given to group A along with the conventional treatment.This group patients will be treated with 10 mins of moist heat followed by Deep transverse friction massage therapist used ulnar border of both palms to release the fascia of cervical region (each treatment session for 20 to 30 min) Intervention was given for 6 weeks on alternate days(. Intervention 2: Intervention group B: Bowen therapy will be given to group B along with the conventional treatment. These patients will receive 10 mins of moist heat and followed by Bowen Therapy top of the targeted muscle was touched by the therapist's (levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius, the scalene and suboccipital) Initially, the fingers will located onto the starting point with minimum pressure, and then the skin was engaged laterally or medially. Following this, downward pressure was applied to sink the tissue and held for 3–4 s to challenge the target tissue. Finally, the fingers were moved across the target tissue while maintaining pressure to disturb the underlying tissues The Bowen will perform as a pair with a 2–5 min pause between a set of moves(23). Each set was composed of 2–6 Bowen therapy (each session comprised of 20 to 30 mins) Intervention was given for 6 weeks on alternate days.</i_freetext>
