Brief Summary

To compare effect of myofascial Release versus post facilitation stretch in term of pain ,range of motion and disability in chronic non specific low back pain in patients.

Conditions

Chronic Non Specific Low Back Pain

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Myofascial Release

Group A (Myofascial release technique) on low back 3 repetitions (30 second rest between reps), lasting for 30 s for each myofascial track for 1 set to targeted muscles (plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, hamstrings, and erector spinae). The position will be held for 10-15 seconds when a pain point is found lacrosse ball excellent for this type of massage because their surface area is much less than that of foam rollers.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Myofascial Release technique

Intervention Type: OTHER

on low back 3 repetitions (30 second rest between reps), lasting for 30 s for each myofascial track for 1 set to targeted muscles (plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, hamstrings, and erector spinae). The position will be held for 10-15 seconds when a pain point is found lacrosse ball excellent for this type of massage because their surface area is much less than that of foam rollers.

Post facilitation stretch

Group B (Post facilitation stretch) static stretching exercises for the low back (plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, hamstrings, and erector spinae). Static stretching involved 3 sets of 3 repetitions for each muscle with a 30-second hold and 30-second rest interval for each repetition.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Post facilitation stretch .

Intervention Type: OTHER

static stretching exercises for the low back (plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, hamstrings, and erector spinae). Static stretching involved 3 sets of 3 repetitions for each muscle with a 30-second hold and 30-second rest interval for each repetition.
