Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • . Numeric pain rating scale

    NPRS is based on 11 points numerical rating scale for determining pain intensity, 0 ( no ;pain), 10 (worst pain imaginable).

    4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Inclinometer

    4 weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Modified Oswestry Disability index

    4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Myofascial Release

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group A (Myofascial release technique) on low back 3 repetitions (30 second rest between reps), lasting for 30 s for each myofascial track for 1 set to targeted muscles (plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, hamstrings, and erector spinae). The position will be held for 10-15 seconds when a pain point is found lacrosse ball excellent for this type of massage because their surface area is much less than that of foam rollers.

Other: Myofascial Release technique

Post facilitation stretch

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group B (Post facilitation stretch) static stretching exercises for the low back (plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, hamstrings, and erector spinae). Static stretching involved 3 sets of 3 repetitions for each muscle with a 30-second hold and 30-second rest interval for each repetition.

Other: Post facilitation stretch .
