Effectiveness of Muscle Energy Technique Versus Strain Counter Strain Technique on Trigger Points of Quadratus Lumborum among Low Back Pain Patients

Objective: To determine the effectivness of muscle energy technique versus strain counter techniques on trigger points quadratus lumborum among patients with low back pain. Methodology: A quasi-experimental trial was conducted 40 who had pain due to in Sialkot medical complex hospital, Sialkot. The participants were divided into group (MET) and B (SCS). Group treated moist heat therapy, while therapy for two weeks. Numeric rating scale Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire used. Data analyzed SPSS 21. Results: mean score Index (ODI) 53.10±7.35 56.60 ± 7.89 at start treatment (SCS), respectively. final ODI (SCS) 22.25± 5.87 37.70± 7.87, value intensity Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) 7.30±1.25 vs. 7.85±1.26 post-treatment NPRS 3.20 ±1.16 4.55±1.20 Conclusion: According findings this study, both METS SCS significantly improved functional disability caused by lumborum. However, terms difference, are more effective than SCS. Keywords: Strain strain, METS, Trigger points, Quadratus lumborum, Low
