• Static Stretching of Iliopsoas
Static Stretching of Iliopsoas (Hold for 7-8s x 10 reps) Week 1 Lifting the leg while lying in a prone position with the knee bent Week 2 Lifting the leg in a prone position with a straight knee Week 3 Stretch in the modified Thomas test position Week 4 Modified launch stretch
• Post Facilitation Stretch of Iliopsoas
Post Facilitation Stretch of Iliopsoas (5-10s x 10 reps) Patient's position supine at the edge of the table, non-effected hip and knee in flexion, experimental thigh and leg hang on the edge of table. Extend the hip of the opposite thigh up to the barrier. After that, the patient flexes the hip against maximal resistance (isometric) and breathes in for 5-10 seconds.
