Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a commonest musculoskeletal disorder in modern society, which affects 60% to 80% of the population suffering at least once in their life.Nonspecific low back pain is tension, soreness and/or stiffness in the lower back region for which it isn't possible to identify a specific cause of the pain.Several structures in the back, including joints, discs and connective tissues, may contribute to symptoms.Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization or simply (IASTM) is a new range of tool which enables clinicians to efficiently locate and treat individuals diagnosed with soft tissue dysfunction.The physiological mechanism associated with IASTM is proposed to be through introduction of microtrauma to the affected tissue and facilitating the inflammatory response phase of the healing cascade Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the difference in lumbar range in subjects with
