Brief Summary
Sixty healthy individuals will be randomised into four groups. Group I (15 subjects) will be applied hotpacks, Group II (15 subjects) will be applied infrared, Group III will be applied ultrasound to hamstring muscles for 18 sessions 3 times per week and the subjects will do hamstring self stretching exercise 3 times for 15 seconds. Group IV will only do self stretching exercises. Outcome measures are Range of Motion and hamstring flexibility. Measurements will record before and after the end of the treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Changes of ROM
Range of motion was measured by universal goniometer. Knee flexion and extension, Hip flexion, extension, external and internal rotation was measured
baseline, after 6 weeks
Hamstring Flexibility
Hamstring Flexibility was measured by universal goniometer by using active knee extension test.
baseline, after 6 weeks

Hotpack Group
EXPERIMENTALGroup I (15 subjects) received 18 sessions hotpack to hamstring muscles and self stretching exercise3 times per week.
Infrared Group
EXPERIMENTALGroup II (15 subjects) received 18 sessions infrared to hamstring muscles and self stretching exercise3 times per week.
Ultrasound Group
EXPERIMENTALGroup III (15 subjects) received 18 sessions ultrasound to hamstring muscles and self stretching exercise 3 times per week.
Control
ACTIVE COMPARATORGroup IV (15 subjects) received 18 sessions self stretching exercise 3 times per week.
Interventions
Hotpack Group received 20 minutes hotpack to hamstring muscles region at prone position and participants stretched the hamstring muscles at supine position.Self stretching hamstring exercise was done by straight leg lifting using a band three times for 15 seconds .
Infrared Group received 20 minutes infrared to hamstring muscles region at prone position and participants stretchted the hamstring muscles at supine position.Self stretching hamstring exercise was done by straight leg lifting using a band three times for 15. seconds .
Ultrasound Group received 5 minutes 1 M-Hz, 1,5 watt/cm2 ultrasound therapy to hamstring muscles region at prone position and participants stretched the hamstring muscles at supine position.Self stretching hamstring exercise was done by straight leg lifting using a band three times for 15 seconds .
Control Group participants stretched the hamstring muscles at supine position.Self stretching hamstring exercise was done by straight leg lifting using a band three times for 15 seconds .
