Background Neck pain and shoulder dysfunction very painful condition characterized by pain, severe stiffness and movement restrictions. There are many hyperactive trigger points in the neck and upper back muscle. Myofascial release is a specific type of passive mobilization of soft tissue. Myofascial Release procedure was used as conservative management for pain and dysfunction. Method Five subjects have taken for this study who received Myofascial Release. Study design is experimental case series. They were diagnosed with neck and shoulder dysfunction limiting their activities of daily living. Double lacrosse ball was used for myofascial release over clavi-pectoral fascia along with postural correction exercises. Outcome measures for this study were Shoulder Pain Disability Index (SPADI) and Neck Disability Index (NDI). Results This study had positive outcomes with decrease in pain within 3 weeks of treatment with a frequency of 3 days/week. Conclusion The case report explains the outcome of myofascial release restrictions on movement of shoulder and neck. Postural ergonomics also helped to improve posture of patient with significant declined dysfunction in joints of neck and shoulder.
