Introduction The present study aimed to analyze the acute effects of a myofascial release
session (MFR) with a portable electric massager (PEM) at different frequencies (25 Hz and …

Objective: Myofascial release (MFR) is used to restore tissue extensibility of the fascia tissue
and is considered to be useful in a number of clinical settings, such as low back pain (LBP) …

Context: Limited ankle dorsiflexion (DF) range of motion has been correlated with decreased
flexibility of the gastrocnemius/soleus complex. Decreased ankle DF range of motion can …

Experimental evidence does not currently exist to support the claims of clinical effectiveness
for myofascial release techniques. This presents an obvious need to document the effects of …

Objective To investigate the effects of myofascial release on the flexibility and
electromyographic activity of the lumbar erector spinae muscle in healthy individuals …

Background: Flexibility is the ability to move a single or series of joints smoothly and easily
through an unrestricted, pain-free range of motion. Decreased hamstring flexibility is …

Context: Anatomy trains theory states that performing techniques in any part of the
superficial myofascial backline can remotely treat other parts of this pathway. Due to the …

Background University and collegiate education of the human myofascial system is
commonly taught in basic science courses such as anatomy. Allied health programs may …

Objective: To determine the effect of self myofascial release via foam roller application on
skeletal muscle performance. Background: The use of foam rollers in athletic, rehabilitative …
