Abstract :
<p> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt;">The tightness of hamstring muscles is a major factor hindering performance in daily activities. The purpose of this study is to find out the immediate and carryover effect (24hours) of Mulligan Traction straight leg raise in increasing range of motion and flexibility.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: 12.0pt;tab-stops:56.7pt"><b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Materials and Methodology: </span></b><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">50 individuals with hamstring tightness fulfilling inclusion criteria were taken and given three repetitions of single intervention of the technique.
