Summary

The aim of study will be to find the effects of fascial distortion model (FDM) with and without the Integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT) in piriformis syndrome.

Detailed description

Piriformis syndrome is a misdiagnosed cause of sciatica leg or buttock pain and disability. The male and female incidence ratio of PS is 6.1. The fascial distortion model is a targeted manual technique and decodes categorized manual gestures (pain-related body language) to 6 pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the etiology of pain. Integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique(INIT) is a combination of muscle energy technique(MET) and positional release technique(PRT). All previous studies in which integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique(INIT) and fascial distortion model(FDM) has been performed on different muscles of the body has shown greater improvement as compared to other techniques. Comparative effects of fascial distortion model with integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and fascial distortion model on Piriformis Syndrome has not been addressed yet. There is very limited data available on this protocol. Therefore, this study aims to compare the effects of facial distortion model with and without integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique.
