Abstract: The movement of the human body is caused by the muscular system. There are about 700 muscles attached to the bones of the skeletal system that help to make up half of the person’s body weight roughly. Skeletal muscles are made up of contractile and non-contractile connective tissues. The characteristics of contractility and irritability are given by the contractile elements of the muscle.
Aim: The Aim of this study is to compare “effect of bowen technique versus muscle energy technique on asymptomatic subjects with hamstring tightness” Materials and Methods: A Quasi Experimental study design consisting of reviews of charts of hamstring tightness patients. Thirty patients were included, (50%) were males, (50%) were males ; the average age was 18-24 years. All the patients are presented with hamstring tightness underwent goiniometer and sit and reach test. Pre- and post-Treatment of Group A patients received (Bowen technique) and Group B patients received (Muscle energy technique) scores on the improve range of motion strength of muscle and physical functional of the goniometer and sit and reach test were analyzed.
Results: The pre and post test values were assessed by Bowen Technique and Muscle Energy Technique in Group A and Group B. The calculated ҅ t ҅ values by unpaired҅ t ҅test were in group A is 5.72 and Group B is3.52.Thecalculated ҅t҅ values were more than the table value 2.05 for 5% level of significance at 28 degrees of freedom.
Conclusion: In the present sample, Bowen technique had a positive and significant effect on the improve range of motion strength of muscle and physical functional of the goniometer and sit and reach test before and after therapy.
Keywords: Bowen technique, Muscle energy technique, Goniometer, Sit and reach test.
