Brief Summary

This research is to determine the effectiveness of stretching versus soft tissue mobilization in coccydynia patients.The main purpose of the study is the the development of evidence based therapeutic protocols for postpartum coccydynia patients to improve functional impairment, range of motion, and reduction of pain.

Conditions

Coccidioidomycosis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• NUMERIC PAIN RATING SCALE(NPRS)

  The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a widely used, 11-point scale (0-10) for measuring pain intensity, with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 representing "worst pain imaginable

  12 Months

• Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

  The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores disability levels related to low back pain on a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 indicating no disability and 100 representing the highest level of disability

Interventions

Stretching DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The group A contains 34 patients and received STM for twice a week for three weeks with each session lasting approximately 20 min.focusing on mobilizing soft tissue to enhance circulation, reduce scar tissue and improve tissue flexibility.
