Brief Summary: to find out the effects of sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique in combination with upper cervical spine exercises on hamstring muscle flexibility in post-laminectomy patients
Detailed Description: Laminectomy is a decompression surgery which is performed to decrease pressure on spinal nerves In this surgical procedure a small bone of vertebrae called lamina is removed Hamstring muscle stiffness is a major problem in post-laminectomy patients which results in chronic pain functional limitation and affect patients activity of daily life

In post-laminectomy patients hamstring stiffness is more profound than iliotibial Band and piriformis stiffness Sub-occipital muscle and hamstring are connected via a single neural pathway called superior back line SBL which passes through dura matter Dura matter is the outer most covering of meninges Sub Occipital Muscles attached to dura matter by Myodural Bridge through vertebral dural ligament This connection provides a window for relaxation of dural fascia to decrease tone of connected muscular-skeletal units in which hamstring is also included So if any of these muscle units become tight or tone deterioration occur the other unit is automatically malfunctioned The study shows that if tone sub-occipital muscle falls it has been reported that the tone of knee flexors such as hamstring also decreases due to relaxation of myofascia

However in post-laminectomy patients incorporating a neural pathway connection technique involving sub-occipital muscle inhibition for upper neural pathway Dura release may offer more effective and immediate results on hamstring muscle flexibility in the lower neural pathway The sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique is a method of inducing relaxation of the fascia by applying soft pressure to the sub-occipital area

The rationale of the present study is to find out the effectiveness of SOM inhibition technique for stiff hamstring muscle in post-laminectomy patients pain and disability To compare the effectiveness of SOM inhibition technique in combination of upper cervical spine muscle stretchingtraction etc with hamstring muscle stretching lower limb neurodynamic etc
