ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Low back pain (LBP) is a symptom that is an important health problem throughout the world. Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is the most widespread form of LBP. NSLBP is called LBP without recognizable specific underlying pathology. The prevalence and burden of LBP increases with aging. Myofascial release (MFR) is a variety of manual therapy technique in which pressure is applied to muscle and fascia to soften and stretch the myofascial complex, intended to restore optimal length, decrease pain, and improve function. This situation is more common and complex in elderly people. Because of the changes in fascia structures, dysfunction of deep muscles of back and trunk is common in chronic LBP. Injuries of low back are mostly caused from the superficial back line (SBL). The SBL contains the plantar fascia, gastrocnemius muscles, hamstring muscles, sacrolumbar fascia, erector spinae muscles and epicranial fascia.
