Background: In upper cross syndrome (UCS), weaker neck flexors, anterior and middle serratus and lower trapezius along with rhomboids usually develop, and stiffness of the levator scapulae, pectoralis major as well as upper trapezius are biomechanically adapted. Muscle imbalance is the primary cause for the upper cross syndrome between the tonic and phasic muscles. Individuals with upper cross syndrome may also exhibit any of the following issues text neck syndrome, round upper back, reduced thoracic spine mobility, winged scapulae. Active Release Technique (ART) helps to reduce discomfort and improve the range of movement. Also, Active Release Technique (ART) is a manual procedure which is also being used for other soft tissue rehabilitation as well as for the management of the scar tissues. UCS and neck pain is common with uncomfortable job postures as well as in stress and anxiety, due to which muscle dysfunction starts which can further followed by altered posture around the neck. Active Release Technique was also used earlier for muscle dysfunction and for scar tissue mobilization. Changes in musculature structure may exhibit chronic headaches among the patients of upper cross syndrome also unbalanced soft tissue near the neck may create barriers for the head’s range of motion (ROM). Patients complaints were pain, decreased job efficiency for which he was later diagnosed as a case of upper cross syndrome. The patient showed great co-operation during the treatment and now the patient is able to perform his job-related tasks without discomfort
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a devastating injury that occurs at high frequency during involvement in competitive sporting activity. Typical treatment of ACL damage is a reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACLR). It is projected that between 50 percent and 60 percent of ACL injured athletes will return to competitive sport. Athletes undergoing ACLR surgery are recommended for comprehensive rehab and preparedness to rebuild knee joint integrity and specific functional criteria to direct the comeback to sport to protect against secondary ACL damage.Patient main concerns were pain, with loss of strength and stability at the knee joint, the clinical findings found that there was a marked decrease in range of motion (ROM), and decreased strength of the quadriceps and the hamstrings.Diagnosis of case was grade 2 ACL tear which was confirmed by the MRI reports.The patient showed a great co-operation during the intervention period and now the subject is able to maintain his consistency in his sport. The outcome measures of physical therapy intervention progressed him in an enhanced athlete with return to his sport.

Also, Active Release Technique (ART) is a manual procedure which is also being used for other soft tissue rehabilitation as well as for the management of the scar tissues. UCS and neck pain is common with uncomfortable job postures as well as in stress and anxiety, due to which muscle dysfunction starts around the neck. Aim and Objective: To evaluate the effects of Active Release Technique verses conventional physiotherapy in management of upper cross syndrome physiotherapy. Methodology: 35 patients were grouped in two groups. Both groups were treated for six sessions. Group A was treated with active release technique and static stretching along with hydrocollator pack. The patients coming under Group B, conventional physiotherapy was given which include stretching, levator scapulae and pectoralis major as well as rhomboid strengthening, deep neck flexors, lower trapezius along with the hydrocollator pack. Result: Both the treatment protocol were beneficial for the UCS patients but ART yields greater reduction in pain and increase in ROM than the conventional physiotherapy. Conclusion: this study concludes that administering ART among the UCS patients has shown positive trends and is beneficial for the patient as compared to the conventional
The Achilles tendon acute rupture (ATR) is a prolonged injury, since the operative reconstruction marks the beginning of a lengthy period of time. Duration of recuperation, a significant feature of post-surgical recovery is in the treatment of such injuries, the aim of early restoration of the level of pre-injury operation, without raising the risk of rupture or elongation of tendons. Despite the growing number of available RCTs and feedback, there is still no general agreement on the most desirable protocol. In addition, the available evidence is routinely ignored. A 40-year-old farmer reported with history of accidental injury by a plough to left foot. There was sudden pain, bleeding following the injury and was not able to stand on his own. The patient was unable to bear weight on the left foot and therefore was unable to take further action. Left tendoachilles tear Surgical repair of tendon followed by physical therapy intervention for functional rehabilitation. Physical therapy for 6 weeks led to early recovery of functional activities.
