- Abstract
Background: Chronic Low Back Pain is a complex and multifactorial condition, often associated with muscular imbalances, trigger points, and myofascial restrictions. MRT focuses on releasing myofascial restrictions, while MET utilizes muscle contractions to normalize muscle length and improve joint mobility. Both techniques have shown promising results individually. Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of myofascial release technique and muscle energy technique in reducing pain and improving functional activity in individuals with chronic low back pain. Material and Method: This is an experimental study done using purposive sampling technique with inclusion criteria of age between 30 to 55, Patients who were diagnosed with chronic low back pain (Duration of at least 12 weeks). patients with history of Fractures and Musculoskeletal conditions were excluded. The sampling size of the study is (n=90) subjects for a period of 6 weeks [February 2023 to March 2023]. Results: The results revealed significant improvement of functional activity in patients with chronic low back pain. Conclusion: This study finally concluded that MRT is more effective than MET in reducing pain and improving functional activity for individuals with Chronic Low Back Pain.
