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. Decreased hamstring flexibility is considered to be a predisposing factor for lower back pain and injury. The purpose of the study was to see the immediate effect of a single session of self-myofascial release on plantar aspect of foot, on hamstring. Aim: To find out an immediate effect of Self Myofascial Release (SMR) Technique in school going children with hamstring tightness Settings and design: The interventional study was carried out in various primary schools of Abu road. Method and material: SMR technique was given to 30 subjects, aged 5-12years. Also, the inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken into consideration. Results: Statistically there is significant (p<0.05) effect of SMR technique in school going children with hamstring tightness. Conclusion: There is significant effect of SMR technique in school going children with hamstring tightness. Therefore, SMR technique can be used with conventional techniques to improve hamstring flexibility in school going children
