Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Muscle Energy Techniques
Following physiotherapy will be given to the participants in this group for 4 weeks, 3 times a week:
1\. Muscle Energy Technique
Physiotherapy
Conventional treatment consisted of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and Progressive Back Strengthening Exercise
Muscle Energy technique
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is a technique that was developed in 1948 by Fred Mitchell, Sr, D.O\[1\]. It is a form of manual therapy, widely used in Osteopathy, that uses a muscle's own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition and lengthen the muscle.
Myofascial Mobilization Techniques
Following physiotherapy will be given to the participants in this group for 4 weeks, 3 times a week:
1\. Myofascial Mobilization
Physiotherapy
Conventional treatment consisted of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and Progressive Back Strengthening Exercise
Myofacial mobilization
It is a type of gentle, constant massage that releases tightness and pain throughout your myofascial tissues
