Plain-language summary

The aim of the study to evaluate the effects of PNF in terms of decreasing low back pain, increasing range of motion and improving flexibility of the hamstrings and iliopsoas. Their association in LBP can be found through studies and my study based on this point will show whether targeting these two muscles would have any effect on lumbar back pain.
