Total duration 2 weeks  
Intervention  Muscle energy technique with conventional physiotherapy  muscle energy technique for 3-5 repetitions. The patients will be given Muscle energy technique with conventional physiotherapy protocol (Strengthening exercise, hot pack) for 6 session per week (total 12 sessions).Total duration 2 weeks
