“…The findings of the present study are in line with the views by Divya, et al 2022 22 , that stated that positional release technique is as effective as conventional treatment as well as other therapeutic options available in reducing pain and disability among the patient, similar results are given by current study where PRT and DTFM both are equally effective in reducing pain, functional disability and increasing lumbar range of motion among patient of mechanical low back pain.…”

Background: Mechanical low back pain is the pain caused by natural vulnerability of the spine to static loads owing to muscular and gravity forces, as well as pain that is caused by kinetic deviation from normal physiology. Positional release technique, commonly known as strain counterstrain (SCS), is a passive positional therapy that uses indirect hand manipulation to reduce musculoskeletal discomfort and dysfunction. Aim: To compare the effects of positional release therapy and deep transverse friction massage on lumbar pain, lumbar range of motion and disability among patients with mechanical low back pain Methods: After getting ethical approval from the University of Faisalabad, 40 male and female mechanical low back pain patients aging 20-40 years, having at least one trigger point in the iliopsoas muscle on the anterior lumbar aspect were recruited in the study bu purposive sampling, and were randomly allocated into 2 groups by means of lottery method. The outcome measures were assessed at three different occasions i.e. baseline, 2nd week and 4th week. The numeric pain rating scale for lumbar pain, goniometry for lumbar range of motion and oswestry disability scale for lumbar disability were used in the study. Results: A total of 40 participants were included of which 57.5 % were male and 42.5% were females. The mean age was 30.37±6.01 years, mean BMI was 24.94 ± 3.64. 2 participants from positional release group and 1 from deep transverse friction massage were dropped out. NPRS showed 3.27 and 3.05 decrease, lumbar flexion showed 11.28 and 11.42 degrees increase, lumbar extension showed 4.9 and 4.94 degrees increase and ODI showed 14.53 and 14.78 points decrease in positional release technique and deep transverse friction massage, respectively. Conclusion: Both the techniques produced significant results in reducing lumbar pain, the lumbar disability and improving lumbar range of motion in their respective group, but none of them proved to be superior to other in between group comparison. Keywords: Deep Transverse Friction Massage; Mechanical Low Back Pain; NPRS; Positional Release Technique.

The goal of this study was to examine the effectiveness of muscular energy method with deep neck flexors training on pain, range of motion, and functional impairment in individuals with mechanical neck pain. This randomized controlled trial was carried out at the Mayo Hospital's OPD physiotherapy department in Lahore. In this study, 30 patients were chosen at random and divided into two groups: Group 1 was treated with deep neck flexors training, while Group 2 was treated with muscular energy method (post isometric relaxation). Every patient signed a Performa and gave their informed permission. The questioner used to collect data was based on the NDI, Visual analogue scale (VAS), and Ranges of motion (flexion, extension, rotation, and side bending at neck). Patients in group 1 showed marked improvement as compared to group 2. Both groups showed improvement but group 1 showed statistically more improvement (p value<or =to 0.05). It is concluded from the study that, patients with mechanical neck pain, when treated by deep neck flexors training showed a significant treatment outcome when analyzed on VAS, NDI, and Goniometer for ROM. When Group 1 and 2 were compared, it was seen that Group 1 showed more significant results than group 2.
