Goal: In this single-blinded study we plan to compare two methods of physical therapy (kinesiotaping and dry-needling) with stretch that is the golden standard treatment of muscle spasm and we assess lumbar range of motion and pain.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria: Professional soccer players who have lumbar muscle cramps during exercise and Have moderate to severe pain in the lower back and their forward flexion are limited. We exclude them if they have history of lumbar problem and in the dry needling group we exclude people if they have used anti-clotting drugs.
Study population and sample size: Enter 33 professional soccer players in three groups (kinesiotaping, dry needling and stretching) by block randomization method.
Intervention: Each patient is treated three times for three days. Pain and range of motion measure for three times (before first session, immediate after first session and the end of last session). In the kinesiotaping group: We use this method on the low back muscle and stay on the skin for three days. In the dry needling group: We use deep dry needling for three session for three days in the intended muscle. In the stretch group: Stretch intended muscle three time a day and each time they stretch muscle for 10 times and each stretch hold for 30 seconds and do it for three days.
