Recent research indicates that fascia is capable of changing its biomechanical properties.
Moreover, as it links the skeletal muscles, forming a body-wide network of multidirectional …

Physical therapists employ ultrasound (US) imaging technology for a broad range of clinical
and research purposes. Despite this, few physical therapy regulatory bodies guide the use …

Lower limb stretching based on myofascial chains has been demonstrated to increase
cervical range of motion (ROM) in the sagittal plane. It is, however, unknown whether such …

In the present study we investigated muscle contraction-driven changes in deep fascia
mechanical property, to reveal mechanical interactions between them. Fourteen males (22 …

Objective Stretching of fascia is an important component of manual and movement
therapies. We previously showed that in pigs, a unilateral thoracolumbar fascia injury …

Motion of the fascial layers of the iliotibial band (ITB), as a reinforcement of the deep fascia
lata, is likely to be relevant for its function and mechanical behaviour. This exploratory study …
