Background and Purpose: This case report describes the examination, intervention and outcome of a patient with lumbar spondylolisthesis. The patient was managed by myofascial release of levator scapulae and cervico-thoracic central PA mobilization. There is no literature found describing these interventions for lumbar spondylolisthesis.Case Description: The patient was a 43 years old woman with LBA with radiating pain to left lower limb due to lumbar spondylolisthesis. She received stretching of levator scapulae, piriformis & rectus femoris, cervico-thoracic central PA mobilization, passive lumbar flexion mobilization, core strengthening exercises. Treatment was given 5 days a week for 20 sittings.
Outcomes: Percentage of slippage.
Conclusion: Stretching of levator scapulae and cervico-thoracic central PA mobilization may help in reducing forward slippage in lumbar spondylolisthesis.
