Background: The lumbar spine plays a crucial role in maintaining posture and movement. Hamstring tightness is often associated with altered lumbar alignment and increased stress on the spine, contributing to low back pain (LBP). The Positional Release Technique (PRT) is a therapeutic method aimed at improving hamstring flexibility and lumbar posture.
Objective: This study investigates the effect of PRT on hamstring length and its influence on lumbar lordosis angle in young adults (18 25 years old).
Methods: A comparative study was conducted on 100 participants in a physiotherapy OPD. The sample was selected using simple random sampling. Passive knee extension angle and lumbar lordosis angle were measured before and after an 8-day intervention using a flexible ruler and goniometer. Data were analyzed using paired and unpaired t-tests.
Results: A significant increase in hamstring length was observed post-intervention (p 0.0001). The lumbar lordosis angle also improved significantly (p 0.0001), supporting the effectiveness of PRT.
Conclusion: PRT effectively enhances hamstring flexibility, corrects lumbopelvic alignment, and reduces lumbar stress, making it a valuable technique for musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
