Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex 3D structural disorder of the spine seen in children from 10 years old until skeletal maturity and confirmed by a Cobb angle of 10° or more and accompanied by vertebral rotation (Addai et al., 2020). It is the most common types of scoliosis and it is predominantly seen in girls at low curve magnitudes ( LeBauer et al., 2008).~A previous study reported the beneficial effect of myofascial release (MFR) on adults with idiopathic scoliosis (LeBauer et al., 2008). MFR showed a decrease in pain, improved posture, and advancement in quality of life, which may include physical, social, and pulmonary function (las Penas, 2005). HYPOTHESES:~There will be no effect of myofascial release on spinal curvatures, menstrual pain, and quality of life in young scoliotic females with primary dysmenorrhea .
PURPOSE:~The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of myofascial release on spinal curvature, premenstrual symptoms, and quality of life in scoliotic females with dysmenorrhea
