About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Non Specific Low Back Pain focused on measuring Chronic pain,myofascial release technique, Postfacilitation stretch,Technique and low back pain.

Eligibility Criteria

40 Years - 55 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Male and female adults already diagnosed with LBP Between ages group of 40-55 years. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who had LBP originating from various pathologies, such as presence of cord compression, radiculopathy, osteoporosis,

Myofascial Release

Post facilitation stretch

Arm Description

Group A (Myofascial release technique) on low back 3 repetitions (30 second rest between reps), lasting for 30 s for each myofascial track for 1 set to targeted muscles (plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, hamstrings, and erector spinae). The position will be held for 10-15 seconds when a pain point is found lacrosse ball excellent for this type of massage because their surface area is much less than that of foam rollers.

Group B (Post facilitation stretch) static stretching exercises for the low back (plantar fascia, gastrocnemius, hamstrings, and erector spinae). Static stretching involved 3 sets of 3 repetitions for each muscle with a 30-second hold and 30-second rest interval for each repetition.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

. Numeric pain rating scale
NPRS is based on 11 points numerical rating scale for determining pain intensity, 0 ( no ;pain), 10 (worst pain imaginable).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Inclinometer
This instrument can measure Flexion, Extension, lateral flexion; a full range of tests ensures the best results. The Baseline Inclinometer is designed with your needs in mind; whether you need it for home or your professional clinic
