Sponsor's own description

The Hamstring muscles are present at the posterior surface of the thigh. The muscles start in the gluteal region and run back of the thigh and insert into the popliteal fossa. The function of hamstring muscles flexes the knee and extension of the thigh. In degenerative joint disease, muscles tightness of the lower extremity leads to a decrease in joint flexibility. In knee joint osteoarthritis, hamstring muscles are more prone to tightness. The objective of this study is to compare the effects of the Bowen technique and Post Isometric Relaxation on pain, range of motion, and hamstring flexibility in knee osteoarthritis patients.
