Brief Summary
The hamstring tightness is considered as the inability to achieve knee extension greater than 160 degrees while hip is flexed at 90 degrees. When low back pain (LBP) persists for 12 weeks or longer, it is termed as chronic low back pain. The objective of study is to see the effect of dry needling versus soft tissue mobilization on hamstring muscle on pain, range of motion and functionality in patients with chronic low back pain.
