Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal problem globally in all age groups. Many risk factors like occupational posture, obesity, body height, and age, contribute to low back pain but the causes of the onset is unknown and the diagnosis is difficult to make. There is emerging evidence that low back pain coexists with hip disorder of which hip flexors that are too tight pose a risk for lower back pain. Various researches addressed some techniques to improve the flexibility of muscles causing low back pain. Hence, this study aimed to identify the effect of Muscle Energy Technique and Active Release Technique on improving flexibility and reduction of pain in students with low back pain. Methodology: 30 students were selected using convenient sampling method and randomly divided into two groups. Group A (n=15) received MET and Group B (n=15) received ART of iliopsoas muscle for 3 sessions per week for 3 weeks. The pre and post-test values were measured using Angulus (smartphone app) to measure Hip Flexion Angle and Numerical Pain Rating Scale to evaluate pain severity. Result: The intra group analysis showed statistically significant improvement in hip flexion angle (t=15.89) and pain severity (t=8.98) of active release technique group B than the muscle energy technique group A at 5% level of significance. The intergroup comparisons showed statistically significant differences in favour of group B. Conclusion: Both the groups showed only minimal significant difference on comparison and they have been found to be effective in addressing iliopsoas tightness. Therefore, the study concludes, active release technique demonstrated more short-term outcomes in improving flexibility of iliopsoas muscle and reducing low back pain in students.
