Overview
Recommended treatment for chronic non-specific LBP is exercise therapy, behavioral therapy including pain management, or a combination of these; There is not enough evidence to establish recommendations for which one is the most appropriate.
The primary objective of this study is to explore the effects of Ilio-psoas Release on Sub-acute back pain, ROM & functional disability
Description
Following the screening, participants will be randomized to receive the experimental or the controlled treatment in a1:1 ratio. Computer-generated random numbers will be used for Randomization. After obtaining the basic information, a unique code will be provided to each included patient. The outcome assessor will be blinded to the type of treatment. Patients and investigator could not be blinded due to the nature of treatment.
Group "A "(experimental group) will receive Positional Release Technique on Painful Iliopsoas(Both if Necessary) Group "B" (control group) will receive conventional physical therapy treatment consisting of hot pack, TENS, Ultra Sound along with back strengthening exercises.
All patients will be Assessed for Pain , ROM and Functional Activities before and after treatment sessions.
Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) and Modified Schober Test will be used for pain and ROM respectively. Roland-Morris Questionnaire (RMQ) will be used for functional activities.
