Treatments tested in this trial

  • Autogenic Inhibition (PFS) Group A

    Procedure/Surgery

    Patient will receive a four-week physiotherapy program with 3 sessions per week. Each session with heat application followed by supervised stretching and strengthening exercises. Participants in group A will receive Autogenic Inhibition (PFS) 10 minutes TENS \& Heating Pad Autogenic Inhibition for 5 sec 5 reps, 5 sec hold,1 set Frequency: 12 sessions for 4 weeks (3 sessions per week and day of rest between sessions) Total Treatment Time 30 minutes each session Strengthening Exercises for Hip and Core Muscles

  • Reciprocal Inhibition Group B

    Procedure/Surgery

    Patient will receive a four-week physiotherapy program with 3 sessions per week. Each session with heat application followed by supervised stretching and strengthening exercises. Participants in group B will receive Reciprocal Inhibition 10 minutes TENS \& Heating Pad Inhibition for 5 sec 5 reps,5 sec hold,1 set Frequency: 12 sessions for 4 weeks (3 sessions per week and day of rest between sessions) Total Treatment Time 30 minutes each session Strengthening Exercises for Hip and Core Muscles
