What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of the Facilitated Positional Release Technique (FPRT) against the Manual Myofascial Release Technique in female patients diagnosed with Piriformis Syndrome. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the treatment group receiving FPRT or the control group receiving manual myofascial release. Baseline assessments of hip range of motion and pain levels will be conducted before treatment and again after two weeks to evaluate the outcomes. The study seeks to determine which technique provides better relief from symptoms associated with Piriformis Syndrome.
