Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and manual stretching in improving hip active range of motion and muscle power in people with hamstring tightness Musculoskeletal Diseases
Conditions
Interventions
We will recruit non-athletic people with hamstring tightness. The hamstring tightness will be identified via a straight leg raise (SLR) test. SLR test is a reliable measure to examine the flexibility
