Brief Summary

This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Facilitated Postional Release Technique( FPRT) Vs Manual Myofascial Release Technique in Female Patients With Piriformis Syndrome.

Conditions

Piriformis Syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in ROM

  Using a Goniometer, specific Hip range of motions (hip abduction, adduction, internal rotation, ext.rotation) will be measured. This process involves positioning the patient in standarized position (i-e supine lying for hip adduction,abduction and sitting for external and internal rotation) aligning the fulcrum of goniometer along the hip axis of motion and recording the readings( in degrees, starts from zero and goes upto the maximum possible acheived range) when joint moves through range of motion.

  2 weeks

Study Arms (2)

FPRT Group

EXPERIMENTAL

On group A we will perform FACILITATED POSITIONAL RELEASE TECHNIQUE: we perform this technique on tight PIRIFORMIS muscle.

Procedure: Facilitated positional release technique

Myofascial Release technique Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

On group B we perform MANUAL MYOFASCIAL RELEASE TECHNIQUE on tight PIRIFORMIS muscle same as group A

Procedure: Myofacial Release

Interventions

Myofacial Release PROCEDURE

Manual Myofascial Release: Control group will receive 3- 5 repetitions of Manual Myofascial Release in Piriformis muscle i.e giving ischemic pressure on muscle directly for 90 secs and then release.

Myofascial Release technique Group

Facilitated positional release technique PROCEDURE

FPRT: Treatment group will receive 5 repetitions of FACILITATED POSITIONAL RELEASE technique i.e applying pressure over tender area of muscle while maintaining specific postion

FPRT Group
