Dry Needling
Dry Needling along with baseline treatment
Dry Needling
Baseline Treatment: Hot pack will be applied for 15 minutes on Hamstrings and lower back and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) at lower back for warm up and pain relief to both groups. Then spinal mobilization (Poster lateral glide) of grade 1 and 2 (3 sets of 6 repetitions) i.e. within the spine resistance.
Dry Needling will be given to group A along with baseline treatment through following protocol:
Patient will be in prone lying. Sterilized disposable dry needles of 0.25\*60mm will be used. Dry needling will be performed on three points on Hamstring muscle for one minute each. We considered a line between ischial tuberosity and head of fibula to target long head of bicep femoris (60% of line) and short head of bicep femoris (30% of line). Semitendinosus and Semi Membranosus were targeted at a point of 60% of line from ischial tuberosity to medial epicondyl of femur.
Sessions: Total 8 sessions will be given 2 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
Soft Tissue Mobilization

Soft Tissue Mobilization
Baseline Treatment: Hot pack will be applied for 15 minutes on Hamstrings and lower back and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) at lower back for warm up and pain relief to both groups. Then spinal mobilization (Poster lateral glide) of grade 1 and 2 (3 sets of 6 repetitions) i.e. within the spine resistance.
Soft Tissue Mobilization will be given to Group B along with Baseline treatment.
Subject will be in prone lying position with knee bent at 30 to 60 degrees. Soft tissue mobilization will be applied on hamstring muscle through Graston technique. Massage cream will be applied on hamstring muscle and Graston Instrument will be rubbed from gluteal line to politeal fossa 30 times for 60 seconds.
Sessions: Total 8 sessions will be given 2 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
