Brief Summary:
Brief Summary
This clinical trial aims to learn if static stretching and myofascial release work to improve hamstring muscle tightness and lower limb functional ability among IT professionals It will also learn about the superiority of one maneuver over another The main questions it aims to answer are
Does static stretching and myofascial release work to improve hamstring muscle tightness and lower limb functional ability among IT professionals
Which stretching maneuver is more effective in reducing hamstring muscle tightness and improving the lower limb functional ability among IT professionals Researchers will compare static stretching to myofascial release to see if both work equally or are superior to each other in reducing hamstring muscle tightness and improving lower limb functional ability among IT professionals
Participants will
Both groups received an application of hot packs for 20-25mins at the posterior aspect of the thigh
In addition group 1 performed static stretching of the hamstring muscles for thirty seconds with a thirty-second gap repeating the same maneuver three timesday for five daysweek for three weeks
Group 2 received a myofascial release This maneuver involves the proper positioning of the practitioner39s hands on both sides of the hamstrings pulling them in opposite directions with firm pressure and holding the stretch for three to five minutes each stretch completing five to seven stretches per session with a gap of two minutes between each stretch and continued five sessions per week for three weeks

Detailed Description:
Tightness in the hamstring muscles presents a considerable issue for many people especially those in professions requiring long sitting periods such as IT workers This group often experiences a high rate of hamstring tightness because their jobs involve extended sitting and minimal physical movement As a result IT professionals may suffer from limited knee extension and reduced functionality leading to discomfort and lower productivity at work and in daily activities
The impact of hamstring tightness on knee extension and overall function has been extensively studied across various populations Limited knee extension commonly associated with hamstring tightness can disrupt standard walking patterns and affect joint stability raising the risk of musculoskeletal injuries particularly around the knee Additionally the reduced functional ability caused by hamstring tightness can negatively influence daily tasks job performance and overall quality of life
