Overview

This study examines the effects of autogenic inhibition (PFS) versus reciprocal inhibition in individuals with lower cross syndrome

Participants were randomly assigned into two groups Group A received Autogenic Inhibition (PFS) technique focusing on lengthening of chronically shortened muscles Group B received Reciprocal Inhibition technique focusing on lengthening of chronically shortened muscles Pain, Functional Disability , Muscular strength, Lumbar and Hip Rom were measured using VAS, ODI, Sphygmomanometer, Inclinometer and Goniometer

Autogenic Inhibition (PFS) Group APROCEDURE

Patient will receive a four-week physiotherapy program with 3 sessions per week. Each session with heat application followed by supervised stretching and strengthening exercises. Participants in group A will receive Autogenic Inhibition (PFS) 10 minutes TENS \& Heating Pad Autogenic Inhibition for 5 sec 5 reps, 5 sec hold,1 set Frequency: 12 sessions for 4 weeks (3 sessions per week and day of rest between sessions) Total Treatment Time 30 minutes each session Strengthening Exercises for Hip and Core Muscles

Reciprocal Inhibition Group BPROCEDURE
