Brief Summary

The present study was concerned with the comparison of effect of Theragun PRO and manual myofascial release technique to improve Hamstrings Flexibility in healthy Adults. It was randomized clinical trial on two groups one got percussion therapy by theragun PRO and other got treatment through manual myofascial release technique. The outcome measure was hamstring flexibility.

Detailed Description

Muscular flexibility is an important aspect of normal human function. Limited flexibility has been shown to predispose a person to reduce quality of life. Several studies developed protocols to improve flexibility of muscles, including manual myofascial release techniques, Stretching techniques or Percussive therapy. The studies about the effects of fascia relaxation and stretching techniques on flexibility reported that fascia relaxation increased flexibility of hamstrings. Many treatments likely combines the elements of a conventional massage and vibration therapy.

There is a lack of scientific evidence as to how and if percussive massage treatment affects ROM and muscle strength. To date, there are many studies on effect of percussive therapy on different muscle group, but investigators did not find work on hamstring muscle group. Therefore, it is aimed to find Comparative effect of Percussive therapy device and manual myofascial release technique to improve Hamstrings Flexibility in healthy Adults.

This was a Randomized clinical trial. Sample was taken through simple random sampling. Investigators will perform randomized clinical trial on two groups one got percussion therapy by theragun PRO and other got treatment through manual myofascial release technique. The outcome measure was hamstring flexibility.
