Brief Summary

Hamstring tightness is a common problem caused by a sedentary lifestyle and can have negative effects on posture and musculoskeletal function. It can lead to postural misalignment, increasing loading on the lumbar spine, increased pressure on inter-vertebral disc and potentially resulting in low back problems. Bowen technique and Mulligan Bent leg raise is used to treat conditions including hamstring tightness. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of mulligan bent leg raise with and without Bowen therapy on hamstring tightness in asymptomatic adults.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Active Knee Extension Test

  The Active Knee Extension Test is used to assess hamstring muscle length and the range of active knee extension in the position of hip flexion. A knee flexion angle of 20 ° or less is considered normal ROM on the AKE. The AKE has been found to have high reliability for intra-rater agreement (ICC = .86-.99) and moderate inter-rater reliability (ICC = .76-.89)

  1 week

• Sit and Reach Test

  The Sit and reach test is one of the linear flexibility tests which helps to measure the extensibility of the hamstrings and lower back. Previous studies indicated that reliability estimate for Sit and reach test are consistently higher (.96 \< R \< .99)

  1 week

• Straight Leg Raise Test

  also called the Lasegue test, Normal ROM for the PSLR has been reported as 80 ° of hip flexion. The PSLR has been reported to have high intra-rater (r = .91) and inter-rater (r = .93) reliability
