Abstract
This study was aimed to determine the effect of myofascial release technique on postnatal sacroiliac joint pain. Fifty multigravidae postpartum women, who had caesarean delivery and complained from sacroiliac joint pain, were selected randomly from outpatient clinic of Deraya University in El Minya to participate in this study, their ages ranged from 26 to 35 years old and their body mass index (BMI) didn{u2019}t exceed 30kg/m2. Women were assigned into two groups of equal number (A) and (B), group (A) treated by lumbo-pelvic stabilizing exercises, 30 minutes, 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks and group (B) treated by lumbo-pelvic stabilizing exercises, 30 minutes and myofascial release technique, 20 minutes, 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. All women in both groups were assessed through visual analogue scale (VAS) to measure pain intensity, modified Oswestry disability questionnaire to assess functional disability and pressure algometry device to determine muscle trigger points sensitivity for both groups before and after treatment. The results of the present study revealed that there was more statistically significant improvement in pain, functional disability and trigger points sensitivity in group (B) than group (A). It seems that the use of myofascial release technique was effective in reducing sacroiliac joint pain intensity, functional disability and pain sensitivity within the muscle trigger points on postnatal women
