Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of muscle energy technique on postnatal low back pain. Subjects and method: Thirty females suffer from postnatal low back pain, their age ranged from 25-35 years and their BMI ranged from 30-35 Kg/m² were participated in the study. They were divided randomly into two equal groups, (group A) included 15 women who had been treated with selected exercises program (static abdominal, posterior pelvic tilt and postural correction exercises) plus muscle energy technique (MET), while (group B) included 15 women who had been treated with selected exercises program only. Assessment of all women in both groups were done before starting the study and after 8 treatment sessions (2 sessions per week for four weeks) in form of pain pressure threshold using algometry, pain intensity using VAS, functional disability using oswestry disability index and lumbar spine ROM using incliometer
