Treatment and study plan

Myofascial Release Technique

Other

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

Post facilitation stretch .

Other

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. . Numeric pain rating scale

    Time frame: 4 weeks

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

Secondary outcomes

  1. Inclinometer

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    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

Other outcomes
