Comparative Effects of Post-isometric Relaxation and Active Release Technique Patients With Deep Gluteal Syndrome

Deep gluteal syndrome included piriformis syndrome. Tight piriformis muscle gives symptoms of Sciatica in patients with Deep Gluteal Syndrome. Two different techniques which will be used to improve deep gluteal syndrome are Active release technique and Post-isometric relaxation. Active release therapy is a set of techniques for treating musculoskeletal problems. After feeling for the precise location of musculoskeletal dysfunction, practitioners aim to release affected tissues. The post-isometric relaxation technique begins by placing the muscle in a stretched position. Then an isometric contraction is exerted against minimal resistance. Relaxation and then gentle stretch follow as the muscle releases.
