Sedentary life style is associated with obesity as well as muscle shortening, which in turn is linked to chronic health problems.

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF Modified hold-relax) works on Autogenic inhibition to improve the hamstrings flexibility.15 subjects were taken in the study. Measurement of the severity of pain by using VAS, degree of hamstrings tightness by active knee extension test and functional disability by modified oswestry disability index was done.
