The study will focus on the effects of active tissue release techniques on groin pain, hip range of motion, and functional disability in 2nd trimester of pregnancy. This will be a randomized controlled trial conducted on 30 participants from Prime Care Hospital. Pregnant women in the second trimester aged between 25 to 35 years, who have groin or round ligament pain will be included in this study. A sample of 30 will be divided into 2 groups. Group A will undergo treatment of active release techniques for 10 minutes thrice a week with no home plan of home relaxation exercises. In contrast, Group B will combine treatment of active release technology with home relaxation exercises. Treatment will be given for 4 weeks and pain will be assessed before and after the treatment through (NPRS) scale. Functional disability will be measured before and after the treatment through Quebec scale and Force Disability Scale Questionnaire in both groups.
