The Study Focuses on the Release of the Iliolumbar Ligament Using a Pumped Technique, Addressing Its Tightness Caused by Excessive Anterior Pelvic Tilt During Pregnancy. This Condition Often Results in Low Back Pain and Mechanical Dysfunction of the Lumbar and Sacroiliac Regions.

Brief summary

The iliolumbar ligament, one of the sacroiliac ligaments, has been identified in recent research as a contributor to low back pain when tight. During pregnancy, hormonal changes and postural changes can cause this ligament to tighten, leading to pain. Releasing the iliolumbar ligament can reduce low back pain and restore normal mechanical function.

Detailed description

Group A (Control group) It will be consisted of postnatal women and will be treated by hot packs for 20 minutes three times per week for 8 weeks. Group B (study group) the participant will treated by hot packs for 20 min in additional to pumping technique for iliolumbar ligament release for 30 min. 3 times per week for 8 weeks.

Interventions

OTHERpumped technique for ilio-lumbar ligament release

Patient position: the patient lying supine or side lying Therapist position: standing on one side of patient. Hand grip: one hand placed on posterior region of iliac crest (close to attachment of ilio-lumbar ligament) while other hand stabilize the medial part of thigh. Therapist force: therapist pulling patient's thigh posteriorly.

OTHERHot Packs

postnatal women will be treated by hot packs for 20 minutes three times per week for 8 weeks.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Goniometer	8 weeks	It will be used to assess lumbar flexion range of motion for each woman in both groups A and B before and after treatment.
Inclinometer	8 weeks	It will be used to assess lumbar curvature for each woman in both groups A and B before and after treatment.
Visual analog scale (VAS):	8 weeks	It will be used to assess the severity of low back pain in women from both groups A and B before and after treatment. The scoring ranges from 1, indicating the least pain and discomfort, to 10, representing the most severe pain and discomfort.
