Brief Summary
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn if the given interventions that is jandas approach versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation technique can treat pain, disability, range of motion, endurance and quality of life in patients with Lower cross syndrome on both genders and age group of 25-40 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does jandas approach versus Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique improves pain, disability, range of motion, endurance and quality of life in patients with lower cross syndrome? There is a comparison between two groups: Researchers will compare the jandas approach and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique to see if there is effects on pain, disability, range of motion, endurance and quality of life in patients with lower cross syndrome. Participants in group A will be given * Heating pad for 10 minutes * Core stability exercises for 20 minutes with 10 seconds of rest intervals * Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation technique was used for stretching of erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, rectus femoris and iliopsoas and rhythmic stabilization technique for strengthening. Stretching was performed using contract-relax technique in supine, prone and side lying positions. The Contract-Relax method included the target muscle to be lengthened and held in lengthened position while the patient contracted the Target-Muscle to its maximum position isometrically 3 to 6 seconds. * Rhythmic stabilization technique was used to strengthen and stabilize the postural trunk muscles of hip: Abdominals and gluteal muscles strengthening and Participants in group B will be given * Heating pad for 10 minutes * Core stability exercises for another 20 minutes. * After which it was treated with the Janda's approach of musculoskeletal pain that includes strengthening of the weakened muscles and stretching of the tightened muscles including Stretching exercise for erector spinae and back extensors muscles Stretching exercises for iliopsoas muscle and rectus femoris muscle Strengthening exercise for abdominal muscle and gluteal maximus muscle
