Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Myofascial Release
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.
Other: 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.
Other Names:
  • Myofascial Release technique for chronic non specific low back pain
Active Comparator: Post facilitation stretch
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.
Other: 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.
Other Names:
  • Post facilitation stretch for chronic non specific low back pain.
