Abstract
Background: Tightness of hamstring is observed in a majority of the students. long duration sitting can be a contributory factor in hamstring tightness. Shortening of the hamstring has a negative impact on the posture of the pelvic region. The increase in stiffness of the hamstring may serve as a cause of low back pain and it is also a common characteristic of back pain patients. The increase in stiffness of the hamstring produces more burdens on the back and causes improper motion patterns in the lumbo-pelvic region.
Methodology: For the study Total number of 30 subjects were randomly taken from The School of Physiotherapy at R.K.University and assigned to either group -A [suboccipital inhibition] or group-B [retro -walking (backward walking)] and there was given a treatment for 5 day with one session per day.
Result: Data was analyzed by using SPSS software. For evaluation paired and unpaired T test used for analysis.
Conclusion: It can conclude that has both techniques where improve hamstring muscles flexibility suboccipital muscles inhibition technique is more effective than the retro walking technique.
