The goal of this clinical trial is to learn tissue flossing and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation effect in treating hamstring muscle tightness.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare Tissue flossing to a PNF (Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to see which on is more effective.
Participant will:
2. another technique will be applied after 1 week 3. again change in flexibility and knee motion will be recorded

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tissue Flossing Arm | Experimental | Application of tissue floss band to hamstring muscle at moderate tension for 2 minutes, followed by flexibility testing via AKET (Active Knee Extension Test), PKET (Passive Knee Extension Test), SLR (Straight Leg Raise), and Sit-and-Reach. |
|
| PNF Hold-Relax Arm | Active Comparator | Standard PNF hold-relax stretching technique of hamstring, followed by flexibility testing via AKET (Active Knee Extension Test), PKET (Passive Knee Extension Test), SLR (Straight Leg Raise), and Sit-and-Reach. |

| tissue floss band | Other | Floss band is wrapped in thigh from distal to proximal for 2 minutes. during this period patient is asked to actively perform movement for 2 minute, after that the band is removed and repeated once more. Immediately followed by flexibility measurements |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Active Knee Extension Test | With the participant supine and the hip flexed to 90°, the participant actively extends the knee. A goniometer was used to records the knee extension angle. Three trials are performed and the mean is used for analysis. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 week |
| Passive Knee Extension Test | With the participant supine and the hip flexed to 90°, the examiner passively extends the knee until the first onset of resistance. A goniometer is used to records the knee extension angle. Three trials are performed and the mean is used. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 week |
| Straight Leg Raise | With the participant supine, the examiner passively raises the extended leg until resistance . A goniometer at the hip measures maximum hip flexion angle (degrees). Three trials are performed and the mean is used. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 week |
| Sit-and-Reach Test | The participant sits with legs extended and reaches forward along a standard sit-and-reach box . After a warm-up, three trials are performed and the mean score (cm) is recorded. | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 week |

Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Only female participants were eligible for inclusion in this study. The study focused on young women because sex-related differences in hamstring flexibility, joint range of motion, and neuromuscular properties have been reported in the literature. Restricting the sample to female students provided a more homogeneous group and reduced variability related to gender differences, thereby enhancing internal validity
