Context: Myofascial release (MFR) is one of the most commonly used manual manipulative
treatments for patients with soft tissue injury. However, a paucity of basic science evidence …

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate potential differences of magnitudes
and durations associated with dosed myofascial release (MFR) on human fibroblast …

A key osteopathic tenet involves the body's ability to self-heal. Osteopathic manipulative
treatment (OMT) has been evolved to improve this healing capacity. The authors' in vitro …

OBJECTIVE: Manual medicine treatments (MMTs) rely on biophysical techniques that use
manually guided forces in numerous strain directions to treat injuries and somatic …

OBJECTIVE: In this study we modeled repetitive motion strain (RMS) and myofascial release
(MFR) in vitro to investigate possible cellular and molecular mechanisms to potentially …

Context: Strain-directed therapy such as vacuum compression and manual manipulative
therapies are clinically effective, but their cellular and molecular mechanisms are not well …

Introduction Myofascial release (MFR) is a form of manual therapy that involves the
application of a low load, long duration stretch to the myofascial complex, intended to restore …

Background The fascial system not only enables the body to operate in an integrated
manner but modifies its tension in response to the stress on it. Recent animal, cadaveric and …

Constructs containing autogenous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded in collagen gels
have been used by our group to repair rabbit central patellar tendon defect injuries …

Progressive tendon adhesion is a major challenge in flexor tendon repair. The authors
developed a bifunctional anti‐adhesion scaffold and hypothesized that its application would …
