The aim of the study is to improve proprioceptive awareness of muscle and shape the levels of low muscle tension to maximal muscle relaxation. This case report is about a 24 year paraplegic male who reported with acute spinal cord injury. Pelvic stabilization and strengthning of the pelvic is focused for the quality of life and performing the daily activities independently with ambulation. Biofeedback along with isometric exercises have been introduced for the voluntary motor activity facilitation
