Effects of Post-Isometric Relaxation Technique versus Cross Friction Soft Tissue Mobilization in Leg Spin Bowlers with Rotator cuff strain

Full description

The existing body of research on Pakistani Cyclists lacks comprehensive investigation into the role of sciatic nerve flossing and active release technique, creating a noticeable gap in understanding the impact of such techniques on the performance, improving flexibility, and overall physical well-being of these athletes. Given the unique physical demands of Cyclists and the potential benefits associated with lower limb muscle strength, a focused exploration in this area is crucial to inform training strategies, enhance athletic performance, and contribute to the holistic development of Pakistani cyclists. To determine the comparative impact of sciatic nerve flossing and active release technique on pain, flexibility, and functionality in the lower limbs of cyclists with sciatica.
