Abstract
Objectives
To study to find the added effects of myofascial release on pain and disability in Chronic Mechanical Low Back Pain.
Methods
The sample 40 was screened, of which 30 meeting the inclusion criteria were selected. Demographic data and pre examination was done using Oswestry disability index and modified modified schobers test. . Each subject received 9 sessions of treatment thrice a week for three weeks. Post examination was done after completion of 9 sessions. The results obtained from the statistical analysis of the this study supported the hypothesis which stated that myofascial realease is effective On Pain And Disability in chronic mechanical low back pain to reduce pain disability and improve lumbar mobility.
Results
Demographic statistical analysis of Oswestry Disability Index score and modified modified schobers test shows extremely significant improvement in pain related disability and also in Lumbar Flexion and Extension. (P < 0.0001)
Conclusion
From the Results of the present study we conclude that MFR can be included as an integral part of specific manual techniques in the management of chronic mechanical low back pain. MFR is effective in reducing pain and functional disability and improving lumbar spine mobility with chronic mechanical low back pain.
