AbstractBackground of the study: Mechanical low back pain (MLBP) is a prevalent and disabling condition that can severely affect a person's quality of life. MLBP patients primarily complaints pain in the lower back, stiffness, movement restriction and abnormal anterior pelvic tilt. The impact of MLBP extends beyond physical discomfort, often leading to emotional distress, decreased productivity, and increased healthcare expenses. Addressing mechanical low back pain is essential to improve quality of life, restore functionality, and prevent potential complications also promptly ensures you stay active, functional, and pain-free in the long run. Various physiotherapy approaches are available to treat the patients with MLBP. This study was an attempt to find the effects myofascial release technique on the variables of mechanical low back pain.
Objective of the study: The objective of the study was to find the effects of four weeks of myofascial release technique on mechanical low back pain and anterior pelvic tilt among subjects with mechanical low back pain.
Methodology: 40 patients with mechanical low back pain were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent myofascial release technique for a period of four weeks. Mechanical low back pain and anterior pelvic tilt was measured before and after 4 weeks of intervention by numerical pain rating scale and kinovea software respectively.
Results: The obtained data’s were statistically analysed by paired ‘t’ test at 0.005 level of significance and found that there is significant difference between the pre and post test scores of mechanical low back pain and anterior pelvic tilt.
Conclusion: Four weeks of myofascial release technique significantly reduced mechanical low back pain and anterior pelvic tilt among mechanical low back pain patients.
