Objective of the study: To find out therapeutic effects of progressive muscular relaxation on stress and disability associated with chronic Chronic Lumbago.

Methodology: 30 Chronic Lumbago subjects were included in the study with age group 25-35 years. All the subjects were random selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the patients randomly divided into two groups (CG & EG), experimental group were received progressive muscular relaxation & hydro collator pack. Control group treatment given only hydro collator pack. Outcome measures were noted as stress using DASS and pain intensity measured by VAS. All the measurements were recorded from baseline to before discharge.

Result: EG Baseline score level (VAS 23, Stress7.5) and CG Baseline score value is (VAS 21, Stress7.6). EG post intervention score level (VAS2.5, Stress12.0 (p<00.1) and CG post intervention value is (VAS 6.0, Stress8.0 (p<00.1)).

Conclusion: The investigator declared that the application of tailored made Progressive muscular relaxation treatment approach which helps to reduction in perception of pain, stress and improvement in spinal, mental overall health, wellbeing livelihood and wisdom for the management of Chronic Lumbago.
