Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of positional release technique and manual pressure technique of hip flexors on pain, range of motion, lumbosacral angle and disability in patients with chronic low back pain
Detailed description
This will be Randomized clinical trial. Individuals who met inclusion criteria will be included in this study. All participants will go through randomization and divided into two groups. Pre intervention assessment is made for both groups. Then intervention will apply to both groups. Group A will receive positional release technique and Group B will be treated by manual pressure technique and pain, range of motion, lumbosacral angle and functional disability will be measured before and after the treatment using NPRS, Inclinometer and ODI. Estimated time of treatment protocol will be 30 minutes per session, 4 times/week for 4 weeks in the hospital setting. Subjects will be evaluated at baseline and 4th week assessment will be the final.
Interventions
Positional Release Technique will be applied on iliopsoas muscle. Treatment time will be 30 minutes per session, 4 times/week for 4 weeks in the hospital setting.
Manual Pressure Technique will be applied on iliopsoas muscle. Treatment time will be 30 minutes per session, 4 times/week for 4 weeks in the hospital setting.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hip flexors tightness | 4th week | Hip flexors tightness will be assessed using an inclinometer to measure the range of motion (ROM) for active hip extension and Lumbosacral angle |
| Pain Intensity | 4th week | Pain intensity will be evaluated using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) |
| Functional disability | 4th week | Functional disability will be assessed by Oswestry disability questionnaire. |
| Anterior pelvic tilt | 4th week | Anterior pelvic tilt will be measured using an inclinometer |
