Summary

In high heel users, most of the previous work has focused on the lower limb. However, we did not find any study that specifically targeted the lumbar region. The novelty of this study lies in raising awareness that high heel users experience a full-body postural disturbance. While studies had involved the lower limb, but it is crucial to also include the lumbar region. This is because high heel users often feel more pain in the lower limb, which may be leading us to focus solely on lower limb and neglect the lumbar region. However, the mechanics of the lumbar region are also deteriorating along with the lower limb, which may lead to musculoskeletal related issues to high heel users in future. In Pakistan, no previous research is conducted, That compare the effect of Graston Technique Versus DOST in female wearing high heels and its impact on posture.

Conditions

  • Hyperlordosis

Interventions

OTHER

Graston Technique

Firstly, apply a moisturizer or gel to affected part. Then gentle strokes are applied from proximal to distal direction to assess trigger point or taut band. After knowing the exact area, apply strokes gently with minimum force in all directions by keeping tool in 30- 60-degree angle. Total Application time will be between 40-120 seconds. conservative physiotherapy treatment plan is hot pack for 10-15 min, calf stetches 10 reps x 2 sets and post session cold pack for 5 min. Home exercise plan is william training i.e. single knee to chest, double knee to chest, pelvic tilts, iliospoas stretch, hamstring stretch and squat (10reps x1 set)

OTHER

Dynamic Oscillatory Stretch Technique

Passively stretch that is at the first point of stretch sensation. The next component to DOS, 2-sec, passive stretch with slow oscillation. Total 10 reps x 2 sec hold oscillations x 3 sets.conservative physiotherapy treatment plan is hot pack for 10-15 min, calf stetches 10 reps x 2 sets and post session cold pack for 5 min. Home exercise plan is william training i.e. single knee to chest, double knee to chest, pelvic tilts, iliospoas stretch, hamstring stretch and squat (10reps x1 set)
