Comparative Effectiveness of Myofacial Release vs Cupping Therapy on Quality of Life in Restless Leg Syndrome With Knee O.A.

Myofascial release (MFR) for the calf muscle will be administered with the patient in a prone position, holding for 120 seconds. The MFR technique involves allowing the lateral aspect of the therapist's thumb to sink into the central portion of the muscle belly. MFR will be performed for 15 minutes.

In dynamic cupping therapy, patients will be comfortably positioned in a prone position, ensuring that the lower limb is exposed and accessible for treatment. Appropriately sized cups will be selected and applied to the calf and hamstrings region. Prior to application, a small amount of lubricant or oil will be applied to facilitate the smooth movement of the cups over the skin surface during the therapy. The technique of dynamic cupping will involve compressing the cups and gently situating them onto the area being treated, applying the necessary force to generate negative pressure. The duration of dynamic cupping therapy will be 10 minutes.
