This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to compare the effects between active release technique and hold relax technique in patients with Piriformis syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects between active release technique and hold relax technique in patients with piriformis syndrome pain, range of motion, and functional disability, in adults (age: 25-55 years)
Data collection procedure: Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research. Informed written consent will be taken. Pre and post-intervention scores will be recorded.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Experimiental Group 1 | Experimental | Hot pack for 10 minutes Interferential Current (IFC) for 10 minutes Active release technique is applied (patient is prone lying with knee flexed, Pressure is applied on taut band and patient is asked to move the leg in internal rotation to achieve maximal lengthening) Repetitions 5 to 7 times hold for 5 to 20 seconds |
|
| Experimental Group 2 | Experimental | Hot pack for 10 minutes Interferential Current (IFC) for 10 minutes Hold relax technique This technique is applied while the patient is in supine lying with one leg crossed over the other Patient is instructed to contract the piriformis against the manual resistance for 5 to 10 secs Then 15 secs of passive stretch is given repetitions x 5 times |
