Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Muscle strain injuries are common in sports but are often misdiagnosed and maltreated.

Their significance is often underestimated because most athletes can continue their daily activities soon after the injury. Proximal hamstrings strains have attracted greater attention because they have a high incidence which is approximately 42%.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

it will be randomized control trial with 60 patients with Acute hamstring Injuries divided into 3 groups. One group will be given Laser therapy, 2nd will be given Strain/Counter Strain technique and 3rd will be given both the techniques in combination This study will be conducted in Rehabilitation setup of Pakistan Hockey Federation Lahore, and Institute of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Center Garden Town Lahore. Non probability Convenience Sampling technique will be utilized
