This study will be a randomized clinical trial and will be conducted at Al- Mustafa Medical and Physiotherapy Center. The study will be completed within the time duration of six months. For data collection, a convenient sampling technique will be used. The Population will be diagnosed with osteoarthritis patients. A sample size of total 24 patients will be taken in this study. The measurement tool will be Active knee extension test, Goniometer and Numeric pain rating scale. The pre-test and post-test outcome measurement will be taken. Patients will be divided into two groups. Group A will receive the Bowen technique intervention and Group B will receive the Post Isometric Relaxation technique. The interventions groups will receive three sessions per week for 4 weeks.
The Hamstring muscles are present at the posterior surface of the thigh. The muscles start in the gluteal region and run back of the thigh and insert into the popliteal fossa. The function of hamstring muscles flexes the knee and extension of the thigh. In degenerative joint disease, muscles tightness of the lower extremity leads to a decrease in joint flexibility. In knee joint osteoarthritis, hamstring muscles are more prone to tightness. The objective of this study is to compare the effects of the Bowen technique and Post Isometric Relaxation on pain, range of motion, and hamstring flexibility in knee osteoarthritis patients.
