Investigating the Effects of Percussion Therapy on Ultrasonography-Diagnosed Thoracolumbar Fascia on Trigger Points and Hyperlordosis in Low Back Pain: A Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Background: Thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) is crucial for stabilization and load distribution. Individuals with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) and hyperlordosis present with trigger points (TrPs) and tight TLF. Instrument-assisted percussion therapy (IAPT) is a form of vibration therapy used for the release of fascia.

Combined effect of myofascial release and passive stretching on plantar pressure in individual with hamstring tightness- an experimental study.

Introduction: The lower kinetic chain is known to be affected by hamstring tightness which causes biomechanical alterations. As per the literature, short hamstring might cause prolonged forefoot loading, which can cause higher repeated stress on the plantar fascia. There is evidence supporting the use of various stretching and myofascial release techniques for hamstring tightness, further research is needed to investigate their impact on plantar pressure.

Effect of Seven Sessions of Posterior-to-Anterior Spinal Mobilisation versus Prone Press-ups in Non-Specific Low Back Pain - Randomized Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Low back pain is non-specific in 85% of population. Posterior-to-anterior (PA) mobilization and press-up exercises are common physical therapy interventions used to treat low back pain.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of posterior-to-anterior spinal mobilization and prone press-ups in non-specific low back pain.
