Overview

The iliolumbar ligament, one of the sacroiliac ligaments, has been identified in recent research as a contributor to low back pain when tight. During pregnancy, hormonal changes and postural changes can cause this ligament to tighten, leading to pain. Releasing the iliolumbar ligament can reduce low back pain and restore normal mechanical function.

Group A (Control group) It will be consisted of postnatal women and will be treated by hot packs for 20 minutes three times per week for 8 weeks. Group B (study group) the participant will treated by hot packs for 20 min in additional to pumping technique for iliolumbar ligament release for 30 min. 3 times per week for 8 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Visual analog scale (VAS):

It will be used to assess the severity of low back pain in women from both groups A and B before and after treatment. The scoring ranges from 1, indicating the least pain and discomfort, to 10, representing the most severe pain and discomfort.

Time frame: 8 weeks

Goniometer

It will be used to assess lumbar flexion range of motion for each woman in both groups A and B before and after treatment.

Time frame: 8 weeks

Inclinometer

It will be used to assess lumbar curvature for each woman in both groups A and B before and after treatment.
