Brief Summary

Introduction: Field hockey is a contact sport. Semiflexion asymmetric position, along with other theories such as the weakness of the extensor muscles of the back or hamstring injury, can be causes or aggravating that suelan hockey players suffer back pain. Objectives: To observe the effectiveness of manual therapy techniques and post-isometric stretching (PNF) after three treatment sessions. In turn, know which of the two treatments have a greater benefit and longer. Methods: The population consists of grass hockey players and senior category aged between 16-30 years. They were randomly divided into two treatment groups. Group 1 corresponded to manual therapy techniques and group 2 to PNF stretching. The study duration for each subject was 5 sessions that included 3 treatment and 3 assessments. Each evaluation consisted of goniometry, balance test using the Sit and Reach, and Roland Morris questionnaire.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Dynamic balance

  Was assessed using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), Which bilateral in the above (A), posteromedial (PM) and posterolateral (PL) Were used reach directions.

Manual Therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

The objective of treatment is to restore esta possible limitation of global mobility to major lower limb joints and remove any tensions from the musculature involved in a relevant way in this sport.

Other: Manual Therapy

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

It is a stretching technique with the aim of increasing the ROM. It includes passive static stretching and contract-relax.

Other: Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

Interventions

Manual Therapy OTHER

The patient remained lying on the gurney and the treatment was performed in the order set forth below and included: overall bilateral manipulation of L5-S1-Sacroiliac, subsequently decompression hip joint, the tibiofemoral decompression, stretching rotators hip flexion or hip and knee mobilization technique downing head and base of the fibula, tibiofibular-talus tali posteriorización decompression and with the help of a wedge to facilitate technical.

Manual Therapy

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation OTHER

Stretching were conducted in the hamstrings, psoas, adductors, pyramidal, quadriceps and right above.

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
