PNF Technique on Iliopsoas and Hamstring Muscle on Chronic Low Back Pain
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
The aim of the study to evaluate the effects of PNF in terms of decreasing low back pain, increasing range of motion and improving flexibility of the hamstrings and iliopsoas. Their association in LBP can be found through studies and my study based on this point will show whether targeting these two muscles would have any effect on lumbar back pain.

Interventions
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique
Experimental group was given proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique (PNF) along with conventional treatment. PNF will be applied on iliopsoas and hamstring muscles, 3 repetitions/session with a break of 2 minutes/repetition (10 second isometric Contraction then 10 second stretch) Treatment contains total 12 sessions (3 times/week for 4 consecutive weeks)
Conventional treatment
Conventional treatment contains tens and hotpack. Tens Will be applied for 20 minutes and hotpack for 10 minutes Total 12 sessions (3 times/week for 4 consecutive weeks)
