Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Modified Oswestry disability index

    Oswestry Disability Index \[ODI\] (an outcome measure that was designed to assess function in activities of daily living for those with acute or chronic back pain)

    6 Months

Study Arms (2)

Myofascial Release Technique

OTHER

myofascial release therapy, the therapist applies light pressure by hand to find myofascial areas that feel stiff instead of elastic and movable. These stiff areas, or trigger points, are thought to limit muscle and joint movements, which can play a part in widespread muscle pain.

Diagnostic Test: Myofascial Release Technique

Ultrasound Therap

EXPERIMENTAL

Ultrasound physical therapy is a branch of ultrasound, alongside diagnostic ultrasound and pregnancy imaging. It's used to detect and treat various musculoskeletal issues you may have including pain, tissue injury, and muscle spasms
