Effect of Mulligan BLR Vs Neurodynamic Sliding on Hamstring Tightness

Flexibility of muscles is important for normal functioning of humans. There are many reasons why hamstring tightness occurs but long duration sitting can be a contributory factor in hamstring tightness in most of the jobs, and educational setups. Hamstrings tightness can further lead to back problems and can cause hamstrings strain during physical activity. Maintaining the flexibility of hamstring muscle is important for general & athletic population and for health care professionals. There are various studies on stretching techniques for the hamstrings tightness such as active release technique, passive stretching, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching, Muscle energy technique (MET), Mulligan bent leg raise technique, Neurodynamic sliding technique to improve hamstring flexibility. Finding the comparative effect between these techniques will clinically provide a guiding stone for therapists in the management of hamstring tightness. This book will help the therapist to make evidence based decisions on effectiveness of Mulligan bent leg raise and Neurodynamic sliding technique, as compared to one another for the management of hamstring tightness.
