Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A: Instrumental assisted soft tissue mobilization
11 participates will receive IASTM treatment for total of 40 more seconds.
Instrumental assisted soft tissue mobilization
instrument will be held at 45° angle and the IASTM treatment will be administered for about 20 seconds in a direction parallel to the muscle fibers being treated with deep strokes
Group B: Sustained stretching
11 participates will receive total of thirty seconds, divided into three sets of stretches at each intervention, with ten seconds of rest in between.
Sustained stretching
The therapist will apply the pressure or ask to maintain the stretch. A total of thirty seconds, divided into three sets of stretches at each intervention, with ten seconds of rest in between
