Placebo Treatment
The therapist will place its hands on the T12-L1 levels as well as on the sacrum. A cross handed hold will be performed along the fascia. Then for the gluteus Medius and maximus muscle, the therapist will stand facing the participant's leg and closed to the superior border of participant's pelvis. The therapist will place the palm of the hand on the anterior surface, allowing the fingers to rest on the outer fibers of the gluteal muscles stabilizing the pelvis of the participants. Allow the participant to flex its knee while applying adequate amount of stretch on the hip joint in an open pack position. Hold, wait for the release and stretch again. for tensor fascia Latae, The therapist will place several slightly adducted fingers of its one hand on the superior fibers proximal to the insertion on the anterior superior iliac crest and the thumb as well as the other fingers of the other hand on the distal muscle fibers. Hold, wait for the release and stretch again.
Lumbar star correction technique was applied. 4 tape I strips will be cut. The paper from the center will be torn. The targeted area will be stretched as tolerated at the lumbar region. The therapist will apply 25% to 35% tension to the strip within the therapeutic zone over the target tissue. End the strip with no tension and activate the adhesive. For the second strip change the posture in order to change the stretch on the tissue, apply the second strip with 25% to 35% tension in the center of the tape and end with no tension. Activate the adhesive. Now flex the trunk and rotate on one side. Apply the third tape strip with 25% to 35% tension in the center of the tape. Apply the fourth tape strip with flexion and rotation on the opposite side again with 25% to 35% tension on the strip. The tape will be changed 3 times per week.
Same Protocol of MFR followed by KT
The control group received a sham myofascial release for 40 minutes per treatment session, three times a week for three weeks. The sham myofascial release was applied by gently placing the hands over the same areas treated in the MFR group,without sliding, just enough to maintain contact for the desired time.
