Effect of Superficial Back Line Relaxation Technique on Hamstring Flexibility in Non Specific Low Back Pain Patients

Pakistan44 participantsStarted 2024-03-01

Plain-language summary

Current study aim to evaluate the effect of Superficial back line relaxation techniques (SMIT along with CCFE) In Non Specific Low back Pain Patients in order to improve pain and hamstring flexibility. And To find out the association between sub occipital muscle inhibition technique (SMIT) and cranial cervical flexion exercise (CCFE) in nonspecific low back pain patients with hamstring tightness. The study aims to enhance the functional status and posture of patients suffering from nonspecific low back pain due to hamstring tightness, thereby enhancing patient efficiency in performing ADLS and IADLS.
