Bowen's Technique and Muscle Energy Technique on Hamstrings Tightness

The aim of this research is to find and compare the effect of Bowen\'s technique and Muscle energy technique on intensity of pain, active knee extension, limited forward bending and active straight leg raise on hamstrings tightness in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. A randomized control trial is conducting at Railway General Hospital, Rawalpindi and Al-Ain Hospital, Wah Cantt. The sample size is calculated through open epi is 24. The subjects are divided in two groups, 12 subjects in Bowen\'s technique group and 12 in Muscle energy technique group. Study duration is of 6 months. Sampling technique applied is non-probability convenient sampling for recruitment and group randomization using sealed envelope method. Only 18-35 years individuals of hamstrings tightness with chronic non-specific low back pain are included. Tools used in the study are Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Active knee extension, Sit and reach test, Active straight leg raise and Goniometer. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 21.
