Abstract

Poor posture in sitting and standing exerts stress on the spine muscle leading to non-specific low back pain (LBP). Myofascial release (MFR) on the back and leg muscles may reduce fascial tension in an individual with LBP is unclear. This review describes the effects of MFR on flexibility, pain, disability, and stress level among non-specific LBP individuals. The findings showed that the direct or indirect apply MFR on the back or lower limbs improve flexibility, pain, and disability. However, insufficient information on stress levels. The MFR therapy is recommended to enhance low back pain rehabilitation.
