Summary

The key purpose was to determine the effects of Muscle Energy Technique (MET) and Postural Correction Exercises on low back pain in females wearing high heels.

To determine the effects of muscle energy technique \& postural correction exercises in reducing pain, anterior pelvic tilt angle and increasing lumbar range of motion in subjects with chronic low back pain due to lordotic posture in females wearing high heels.

Conditions

  • Lordosis
  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Muscle Energy Technique

Post isometric relaxation technique MET was applied in two muscle groups; Lumbar Extensors (Erector Spinae) and Hip Flexors (Iliopsoas). The muscle was positioned in position and patient was asked to apply 20% force isometrically and hold the isometric contractions for 7-10 seconds. Then the patient was asked to relax for about seconds. On exhalation, therapist takes muscle to new restriction barrier. Hold this position for 30 seconds at the end barrier as an end-stretch with 3 repetitions.

OTHER

Postural Correction Exercises

: Postural Correction Exercises was applied to one group. Exercises performed included stretching and strengthening exercises. Hip flexors and back extensors were stretched while hip extensors and abdominals were strengthened. Seated hip flexion used to stretch back extensors while lunge position used to stretch hip flexors. The abdominals were strengthened by using curl up exercises while hip extensors were strengthened by resisted contractions in prone lying.
