Brief Summary
Modification(s)
|
Hamstring tightness in young adults can cause reduced flexibility, postural problems,and increased injury risk .This study compares Static Stretch with remote Myofascial release (MFR) versus Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR) with remote MFR in improving hamstring flexibility among 46 participants aged 18-25 years both Male and Female.Group A will receive static stretch + remote MFR, and Group B will receive PIR + remote MFR, three times per week for 8 weeks. Outcomes (Knee Extension Angle Test, Sit and Reach Test,Goniometer readings) will be assessed at baseline, 4 weeks ,and 8 weeks to determine the more effective intervention. |
