Study Arms (1)

Single Group

OTHER

Post isometric relaxation with participants using 20% of their maximum voluntary contraction will be given to global muscles of core commonly involved in primary dysmenorrhea glutus maximus, Illiopsoas and pirifirmis. Post isometric contraction will be held for 6 to 10 seconds followed by 15 o 30 seconds stretch, rst time will be 5 seconds in between repetations and number of repetations will be 3-5.

Procedure: Post Isometric Relaxation
