The sample size was calculated with G-power. This study would include total 44 female participants aged 40-60 years will be recruited and randomly assigned to two groups. Group A(Gongs mobilization+ conventional therapy)and Group B(PNF+ Conventional therapy). Intervention will be provided for 4 weeks 3 session per week.
