Treatments
Experimental: Active release technique
ART performed from long sitting position, the therapist started by shortening the muscle or fascia of affected limb then apply very specific pressure with hand as we stretch tissue is lengthened. Active movement is done whenever possible according to the instructions given by therapist. ART for 8-10 minutes will be given.
Experimental: Positional release technique
Positional release technique where participant lie supine with the affected limb out of the plinth and then by application of brief mechanical pressure on tender point with one fingertip in order to determine tenderness. The foot should then be positioned, most probably into pure plantarflexion and gentle fine-tuned by rotation, until the score in the tender point has reduce by at least 70%. This position is held for 90 seconds with 3 repetitions i.e. total of 270 seconds was given.
