Comparison of Bowen Technique and Sustain Stretching on Hamstring Flexibility in Asymptomatic Females
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating bowen technique and sustained stretching for Muscle Tightness. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will be a randomized clinical trial. the study will be conducted in Mubarak Hospital Sargodha. a sample size of 44 subjects will be taken. subjects will be divided into two groups using the lottery method. group 1 will be treated with Bowen technique along with heating pad and group 2 will be treated with sustained stretching technique along with heating pads thrice a week for 3 weeks. subjects will come after 1 month for follow up. the follow-up will show which technique is more effective in improving hamstring flexibility and range in healthy females. the outcome measures active knee extension test and sit and reach test will be used to check hamstring flexibility and range at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up. data were analyzed using spss 26.

Timeline
Interventions
Bowen technique is a soft tissue mobilization technique. This medical care involves short mild rolling moves over the muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tendons of flesh utilizing the hands, fingers and thumb. Sequence of receiving bilateral rolling moves over segments of the erector spinae from the lumber toward cervical spine, latissimus dorsi, the gluteal, the hamstring muscles proximally and distally, tensor facia Lata and a medial hip striated muscle move.
static stretching is one of the most common and safest technique used for hamstring tightness. A static stretch is performed by inserting muscles at their greatest attainable length and holding that position for an amount of your time.
