Summary

Rationale of this research is to compare the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and dynamic oscillatory stretch technique on gastro soleus muscles flexibility with shortened calf muscle-tendon unit (MTU),thicker and stiffer Achilles tendon in individual wearing high heel. This study will observe effect in all range of motion of ankle joint. In Pakistan no previous research is conducted, that compare the effect of IASTM and DOST in females wearing high heel.

Interventions

OTHER

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

give gentle strokes from proximal to distal to check for trigger point or taut band. After knowing the exact location, give gentle strokes with minimal pressure in all directions by keeping the instrument in 30 to 60 degree angle. Application time will be between 40- 120 seconds. Conventional treatment will include * Hot pack for 10-15 min (calf muscles) * Stretching exercises of gastro-soleus (10reps x 2Sets). * Post session : Cold pack for 5 minutes (calf muscles)

OTHER

Dynamic oscillatory stretch technique

Passively dorsiflexe the ankle to a point of the first stretch sensation. The next component to DOS, 2- second, passive stretch with slow oscillations at end range was applied. This procedure is repeated 10 times in each set with total of 3 sets .Therefore,10reps x2 second hold oscillation x 3 sets are given.Conventional treatment will include * Hot pack for 10-15 min (calf muscles) * Stretching exercises of gastro-soleus (10reps x 2Sets). * Post session : Cold pack for 5 minutes (calf muscles
