Brief Summary

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

Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial treatment techniques: post isometric relaxation and post facilitation stretching technique sample size: 35 in each group single blinded Before giving either treatment to each group, baseline data will be collected from each participant and then after 4th week of treatment.

Detailed Description

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

To compare the effects of post isometric relaxation and post facilitation stretching on Rom, pain and functional disability in patients with erector spinae tightness.Study Setting: Bahria International Hospital, Lahore Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 26.The quantitative variables like range of motion will be presented in the form of mean ±SD and qualitative variables like pain and functional disability will be presented in the form of frequency and percentage.

POST ISOMETRIC RELAXATION

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

POST ISOMETRIC RELAXATION

Intervention Type OTHER

Group A (Post Isometric Relaxation + Conventional Physiotherapy): This group will receive Muscle Energy Technique in addition to conventional physiotherapy for the treatment of erector spinae tightness. The treatment will be given on alternate days for four weeks with 8 - 10 repetitions of METs per session.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

POST FACILITATION STRETCHING

Intervention Type OTHER

Group B (Post Facilitation Stretching + Conventional Physiotherapy):

This group will receive Post Facilitation Stretching Technique in addition to conventional physiotherapy for the treatment of erector spinae tightness. The treatment will be given on alternate days for four weeks with 8 - 10 repetitions of METs per session.
