About this study

Non-specific Low Back Pain defined by tension, soreness, and/or stiffness of the lower back with unknown origins of pain. Reduction in hamstrings flexibility has found to be one of the causes for development of low back pain. Soft tissue manipulation can help loosen these muscles up and decrease a lot of the pain an individual may be having. Two specific kinds of soft tissue techniques will be utilized in this study are Graston Technique and Active Release Technique. So the aim of this project is to compare the effects of Graston Technique (GT) and Active Release Technique (ART) in the females with NSLBP. The study will be a randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in Allama Iqbal Memorial Teaching Hospital Sialkot. Non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used and participants will be recruited in groups after randomization. The subjects (n=40) will be divided into two groups. First group will include 20 women and graston technique will be applied. Group B will include 20 women and receive active release technique. Both the Groups will receive Hot Pack for 10 minutes, Passive stretching and Therapeutic Exercises for core stability; will be performed 2 times a week with 10 second hold of each exercise. Outcome measures will be taken using Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) for pain, Universal Goniometer (GU) for Active knee extension test and popliteal angle measurement and Oswestry Disability Index for disability in the female patients with NSLBP.
