Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Group "A "(experimental group) will receive Positional Release Technique on Painful Iliopsoas(Both if Necessary) Group "B" (control group) will receive conventional physical therapy treatment consisting of hot pack, TENS, Ultra Sound along with back strengthening exercises.
All patients will be Assessed for Pain , ROM and Functional Activities before and after treatment sessions.
Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) and Modified Schober Test will be used for pain and ROM respectively. Roland-Morris Questionnaire (RMQ) will be used for functional activities.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Iliopsoas positional release
Group A (Iliopsoas positional release group) Positional release therapy will be administered on both Iliopsoas muscles, three sets on each side with 30 seconds hold on tender point. A rest of 15 seconds will be given between all sets.
Iliopsoas Positional release therapy
Group A(Iliopsoas Positional release group) Patient supine, with both hips are fully extended .Find a Tender point in Iliopsoas muscle, at the initiation of pain Passively try combination of flexion Adduction/Abduction medial or lateral rotation at hip joint and stop where pain start to diminished. Hold this position of relief for 30 seconds until minimum of 75% of relief is achieved. Apply three times, than passively take lower limb in extension. Administered on both limbs.
Conventional therapy
Group B (Conventional therapy) Conventional Physical therapy i.e. Ultrasonic therapy 3 min 1 MHz, TENS 10 min, hot pack for 10 min and back strengthening exercises.
Conventional exercises
Group B (conventional Physical therapy) For Ultra sonic therapy Patient prone lying, Aqua-sonic gel is applied to lumbosacral area and ultrasonic head is moved in circular motion. For TENS Electrodes are placed in crossed pattern, Paravertebral at L1 and L5 (Box Pattern)with circuit crossing at L3 and current is applied for 10 minutes, Hot pack which is kept in hydro-collateral at 70°C and 75°C is, wrapped in several towel layers, applied for 10 minutes.
