control
the rigid tapping technique using zinc oxide tape and protective tape (reference). With the participant assuming a relaxed standing position, the tape was applied bilaterally starting from the first to the last thoracic vertebra. A second tape was then applied to form a position of scapular depression and retraction. This tape was applied bilaterally and extended from the midpoint of the spine of the scapula to the last thoracic vertebra (figure ). This taping was applied for 12 weeks and changes every 3 days
scapular stabilizing exercises in the form of (1)wall slides with squat, (2) Wall push-ups with ipsilateral leg extension, (3) lawnmower with diagonal squat, (4) resisted retraction to scapula with opposite leg squat (5) robbery with squat. ten repetitions / exercises/ session were perform
a standard physical therapy protocol will be introduced. This protocol consisted of (1) progressive strengthening exercises for rotator cuff muscles. The resistance was applied first by a red-colored elastic Thera-band. Then progressed, using the green-colored band. Each exercise was performed 10 times /session, (2) Self-stretching exercises for levator scapula, posterior deltoid, pectoralis minor, and latissimus dorsi muscles. Five repetitions of stretching were performed for each muscle per session
