Pain with no referral below knee may be caused by injury to muscle (strain) or ligaments, joints or in some cases, because of attachment of muscles to the sacroiliac joint.This is called Mechanical low back pain. OBJECTIVES: 1. To find the effectiveness of Myofascial release in the management of pain and range of motion in patients with Mechanical low back pain. 2. To find the effectiveness of Stretching exercises in the management of pain and range of motion in Mechanical low back pain patients. 3. To compare the effectiveness of Myofascial release and stretching exercises in the management of pain and range of motion in Mechanical low back pain patients. METHODOLOGY: Study setting: The study was conducted in R.V.S. College of Physiotherapy outpatient department, Sulur, Coimbatore. Selection of subject: 20 subjects with Mechanical low back pain who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups. Group A- Stretching exercises, Group B- Myofascial release. Study Design: Pre-test and post-test experimental study design Inclusion criteria: Subjects with low back pain atleast 3 months with no apparent cause, Both sexes are included, Subjects of 25-35 age group are included. Exclusion Criteria: Spinal tumours, Fractures, Inflammatory diseases, Previous spinal surgery, Nerve root compression, Cardio respiratory illness, Pregnancy. CONCLUSION: The study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of Self stretching exercise and Self - Myofascial release among Mechanical low back pain subjects. 20 patients with Mechanical low back pain was included in this study and divided into two groups, Group A and Group B, each consist of 10 subjects. Group A was treated with Self-stretching exercises, Group B was treated with Self-Myofascial release. Pain, Range of Motion was assessed before and after intervention by visual analogue scale and goniometer respectively. From the statistical results it can be concluded that there was reduction of pain and improvement in Range of Motion in both the groups. But when comparing the two groups, its founds that Myofascial release was more effective than the Self-stretching exercises.
