Hydration and renewal (foam rolling and similar tool-assisted myofascial self-treatment applications); Sustainability: respecting the slower adaptation speed but more sustaining effects of fascial tissues (compared with muscles) by aiming at visible body improvements of longer time periods, usually said to happen over 3 to 24 months.
Myofascial release (MFR, self-myofascial release) is an alternative medicine therapy claimed to be useful for treating skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles.
Foam roller Exercises. A foam roller is a lightweight, cylindrical tube of elastomeric foam used for massaging one's own muscles. [1] The roller is placed between the target muscle and the ground, and is rolled back and forth, using body weight for pressure.
Robert Schleip (born 1954) is a German psychologist, human biologist and author, best known for his research in the field of fascia.His work includes numerous scientific papers and books, which have contributed to the understanding of fascia and its role in musculoskeletal health.
Fascial Manipulation is a manual therapy technique developed by Italian physiotherapist Luigi Stecco in the 1980s, aimed at evaluating and treating global fascial dysfunction by restoring normal motion/gliding to the system.
Irvin Korr, J. S. Denslow and colleagues did the original body of research on manual therapy. [2] Korr described it as the "Application of an accurately determined and specifically directed manual force to the body, in order to improve mobility in areas that are restricted; in joints, in connective tissues or in skeletal muscles."
Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) or fibrosis release procedures [1] is a multidisciplinary, chronic pain-related manual therapy modality which is intended for the purpose of improving articular and soft tissue movement.
Muscle energy is a direct and active technique, meaning it engages a restrictive barrier and requires the patient's participation for maximal effect. A restrictive barrier describes the limit in range of motion that prevents the patient from reaching the baseline limit in their range of motion. [5]
