Abstract :

Context: flexibility is the ability to move a single or series of joints smoothly and easily through an unrestricted, pain free range of motion. The purpose of this study to find out immediate effect of self-myofascial release in hamstring flexibility. Aim: This study aimed to identify the area with greatest effect of using self-myofascial release technique (self-MFR) in the sub-occipital, hamstring, planter region. Setting and Design: A cross sectional study Methods and material: thirty collages going healthy adult’s subjects were evaluated for flexibility and hamstring tightness after self-MFR. Based on superficial back line, the self MFR application areas were the suboccipital region, hamstring and planter region. Self-MFR was applied to each area using a wooden pole for a total of 4 minutes. Self-MFR was applied for 3 days at the same time of the day. which was randomly assigned for each subject. Treatment was applied to one area each day. The active range of motion were used to determine change in flexibility and tightness of muscle pre/post-self-MFR effectiveness was tested using a paired t test. Repeated measurement was used to compare self-MFR effects in the suboccipital hamstring and planter region. Results: statistically is significant (p<0.05) the results showed high significant when the self-MFR technique was applied to the 3 areas, the active knee extension test showed significant improvements over baseline. Conclusion: our findings suggest that indirect application based on the anatomy trains could be effective for those who need to improve hamstring flexibility. And hamstring tightness easily improve effect of self-MFR immediate effect as well as can be performed at any time and any place.
