Study design: Comparative study

Methods: Ethical clearance was taken from college and consent was taken from 40 male and female subjects having hamstrings tightness .They were divided into 2 equal groups. Pre and post measure of active knee extension test was taken. Group A underwent active release technique and group B underwent muscle energy technique.

Result: There was significant improvement in hamstrings flexibility (p=0.001) in both techniques. Statistical comparison of both techniques showed that both are equally effective.

Conclusion: This study concludes that both active release technique and muscle energy technique are equally effective immediately on hamstrings tightness.
