This study will be a randomized clinical trial. the study will be conducted in Mubarak Hospital Sargodha. a sample size of 44 subjects will be taken. subjects will be divided into two groups using the lottery method. group 1 will be treated with Bowen technique along with heating pad and group 2 will be treated with sustained stretching technique along with heating pads thrice a week for 3 weeks. subjects will come after 1 month for follow up. the follow-up will show which technique is more effective in improving hamstring flexibility and range in healthy females. the outcome measures active knee extension test and sit and reach test will be used to check hamstring flexibility and range at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up. data were analyzed using spss 26.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | active knee extension test | Active Knee Extension test (AKE) or Popliteal angle test or 90/90 test: This test was found as gold standard test for estimating hamstring flexibility. This test is used to assess the hamstring muscle length and range of active knee extension with hip in flexed position. | 3 weeks | |
Primary | sit and reach test | Sit and reach test is a common measure of flexibility. This test help to measure the extensibility of hamstring and lower back.
