Interventions

Mulligan Concept

Mulligan Concept was applied by the physiotherapist who received A-B module trainings. Mulligan techniques were performed with 3 sets of 10 repetitions and 15-20 seconds rest between sets. Mobilisations were applied to the spinous process of each vertebra of the lumbar region with 3 sets of 10 repetitions of SNAG and 3 sets of 10 repetitions of NAGS techniques. In the standing position, the physiotherapist took a position next to the patient and stabilised the patient by grasping the abdomen with one arm. Strengthening exercises were applied to the rectus abdominis, internal and external obliquus, transversus abdominis muscles from flexor muscle groups in 3 sets of 10 repetitions. Stretching exercises were applied to the erector spinae and intertransversarii lumborum muscles from extensor muscle groups as 3 sets of 10 repetitions for 15-30 seconds.
