Acute Effects of Foam Roller and Mulligan Technique on Hamstring Flexibility

Immediate Effects of the Traction Straight Leg Raise Technique and Foam Rolling Technique on Hamstring Flexibility in Healthy Young Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The hamstring muscle group is located at the back of the thigh. Due to its structure and people's habits, shortness in this muscle group is frequently observed. Shortness can cause problems such as low back pain, gait disturbances, thigh pain, and more. Numerous exercises and treatment methods have been used to restore flexibility to this muscle. This study will examine the acute effects of mulligan straight leg raises and foam rolling on university students with short hamstrings.
