ABSTRACT

Low back pain is the most common cause of disability in the overall population, most of the time mild pain gets ignored by the patients which leads to functional limitation and the condition worsens by micro trauma and sudden wear and tear forces. It seems to be challenging for the diagnosis and treatment as well. In this case, study a 28-year-old female complained of pain and heaviness in her left leg. Unable to bear weight on the leg appropriately for 15 days. Through history, physical examination, and investigations, she has been diagnosed with an acute onset of PIVD. There are so many physiotherapeutic approaches available to treat low back pain, but there is a paucity of manipulation therapy approach in the acute stage of PIVD. This study will summarize the importance of superioroblique glide of MWM in the lumbar spine combined with the peroneal nerve mobilization, in the acute stage of PIVD.

Keywords: Mobilisation with movement (MWM), Prolapsed intervertebral Disc (PIVD), Hypomobility.
